About Bleu diesel

The Québec Redneck Bluegrass Project (QRBP) can rightly claim to be Kunming's only Western hillbilly band. The group is made up of four French Canadians, JP (guitar/vocals), Chuck (bass), Frank (upright bass), Nick (accordion), and Irish outsider Mark (slide guitar). Their songs are a garbled mess of French, English, Irish, and Chinese.

QRBP have released two albums, Sweet Mama Yeah! (2010) and 3000, Boulevard De Mess (2011) in both LP and download formats. They also have a number of videos on Youku, including one GoKunming featured in early 2011. The band will play a farewell show Friday night with War Whores before several members of QRBP depart for Canada's greener redneck pastures.

GoKunming recently caught up with the Rednecks at Salvador's and struggled for an hour to get a serious answer out of them. It didn't work.
