El Madmo

Biography by Matt Collar A side project for jazzy singer/songwriter Norah Jones, the indie rock-leaning trio El Madmo feature Jones on guitar and vocals alongside bassist/vocalist Daru Oda and drummer Andrew Borger of Jones' backing group the Handsome Band. Theatrical and often humorous (garishly glam makeup, wigs, and costumes are de rigueur), each member of El Madmo has also taken a stage name, with Oda as El, Jones as Maddie, and Borger as Mo -- hence the band name. El Madmo released their self-titled debut album on Team Love in 2008.
