EX-THE MAKE UP!!... Så er det sagt...

CHAIN & THE GANG IS A ROCK ‘N’ ROLL GROUP WHO MAKES A DECLARATION OF … DEPENDENCE!!!!

Yes – you heard that right!

They say: “Depend on us for martial rhythms, minimal riffs with maximum fuzz, bass throbs, shrieks, shouts, mutters, and confessions, as well as bewitching call and response tunes to make any indentured work force proud.”

Chain and The Gang er et selvbestaltet rock'n'roll ensemble, som leveringsdygtig med en omgang garage soul smukt tilsat lidt skramlet lofi pop, en tilpas mængde grooves, blues, Gospel og såmænd også en snert funk. Forsangeren er ingen ringere end Ian Svenonius, som måske bedre er kendt fra bands som Make Up, Nation of Ulysses og ikke mindst Weird War.

Hele herligheden er udgivet på det fantastiske label K Records, som også huser gode navne som Kimya Dawson, The Microphones og Mirah. Sidste album, Minimum Rock'n'Roll, er dog udgivet på det ligeså fantastiske label Fortune Pop.

Og ellers kan vi jo lige sakse fra det store internet:
"Svenonius' career has been characterized by antics and theatrics. His first band, Nation of Ulysses, formed in 1988, was influential in the Washington D.C. punk scene. The band broke up in 1992 after failing to record their third studio album. After a short-lived side-project called Cupid Car Club, Svenonius formed The Make-Up in 1995, who combined garage rock, soul, and a so-called "liberation theology" to make a new genre they dubbed "Gospel Yeh-Yeh". The Make-Up dissolved early in 2001, and a year later, Svenonius formed the band Weird War, who were also known briefly as the Scene Creamers.

Svenonius' solo work includes the 2001 album Play Power under the fictional pseudonym of David Candy, the book The Psychic Soviet, and as host of Soft Focus on VBS.tv. Svenonius' projects and writings have all shared an anti-authoritarian, Marxist political rhetoric."

Baby Handshake debuterer denne aften på 1000Fryds skrå brædder med. De tre herrer spiller. hvad de selv kalder blues-grunge – et solidt grunge-udtryk med rødder i og rytmer fra den gamle blues. Bandet ønsker ikke blot at underholde publikum, men derimod føre dem på en rejse gennem et følelsesregister der indeholder både vrede, glæde og sorg. Musikken kan bl.a. sammenlignes med Jack White, The Woken Trees, Get Your Gun, The Dead Weather og Queens Of The Stone Age.

Vi kan kun sige, at vi glæder os!
