They "started a revolution in music" (Rockerilla Magazine, Italy 2011). Chrome is known for their de/re-construction of rock and roll, innovation, weirdness, found sound samples, hooks, pile driver rhythms and Helios Creed's signature effects laden, Hendrixian, lysergic, layered guitar work and vocals. Their blend of raw energy and mind-bending audio manipulation influenced a wide range of musical genres, from the avant-rock of Sonic Youth and the Flaming Lips to Industrial rockers like Nine Inch Nails and Ministry. Theirs was "a Cyber-Punk vision of the future that came a decade before the term was coined" as psychedelic connoisseur Julian Cope put it. Dispirit John Gossard, Trevor Deshryver, Todd Meister, Ryan Jencks from Oakland/San Francisco, CA- Begun as a purely experimental improvisational outlet in 2000 after the demise of Weakling, and existing concurrently with The Gault and Asunder, John Gossard began creating music with drummer Peter Blair, born out the ashes of Weakling, but constantly morphing through other realms of dark music. After nearly a decade of fermentation, a few unstable lineups, and countless worldly distractions, 2009 saw a stable lineup form with Todd Meister and Nikhil Sarma entering the picture. With a full lineup, many the skeletons created from the old recorded improvisations became the basis for fully composed material. In 2010 the rehearsal/demo tape "Rehearsal at Oboroten" was released and the band began making occasional live appearances. In late 2011 N.S. exited the group due to conflicting prior commitments. Dispirit played a handful of shows after N.S. departure thanks to the help Sean McGrath (Impaled, Ghoul) to fulfill our prior commitments. In mid 2012 the band recruited Ryan Jencks (Deathroes, Sixes, Crash Worship) on second guitar and in late 2012 recorded a second demo, "111112". In mid 2013 P.B. retired for the band, and Jason Bursesse (Cyanic, Black Fucking Cancer) joined them as session drums for select shows. In 2014 the band recruited Trevor Deschryver (Lycus, ex-Deafheaven (yeah quit your whining already!)) on drums, but for how long? GalaXxy Chamber Nykk Fell — Vocals, percussion, flute, samples, keyboards, effects, Krystl Chamber — Vocals, Bass, samples, effects Bill Keaney — Drums, keyboards, vocals (ex of Jaco Pastorius Band), Mike Pickle — Guitar, Brian Slade— Percussion -from San Francisco, CA Formed in 1987 by Nykk Fell in San Francisco, GalaXxy Chamber has been a permanent mainstay on the Bay Area music scene ever since. Joined by Krystl Chamber and Bill Keaney in 1991 “GalaXxy Chamber mixes a holistic mash of educated conspiracy, dead art decadence, doom, space, electro-trip goth and creative ingenuity at the dawning age of Aquarius,” FLIPSIDE magazine, Jan. 1998. The band has hosted a plethora of guest musicians over the aeons that have floated through its galactic sphere — some stemming from bands as different as MDC, Joe Cocker and Helios Creed. Residing in the Haight-Ashbury district of San Francisco, GalaXxy Chamber blends Afro-beats, gothadelic and experimental rock to form a haunting musical tome of metaphysical political humor. “A ritualist, enchanted space carnival; envision Gregorian chants, coloratura soprano, acid guitar, tweaked-out keyboards and corps of Nigerian drummers playing at a witch‘s Sabbat in a cathedral, ” says Gayle Rubin of Taste of Latex magazine. |
