Chet were built from old candle sticks and bits of car engines combined with an unforgettably high degree of addictive melody. The twin tuned exhaust of the vocals combined with the over the top melody of the synthometre located just above the bass sprocket under the bonnet to the left is what makes Chet such a renowned and popular choice of machine.
Consisting of four players, Rhian (bass bombastics), Misery Gus (Thumping beat coordinator and one part of twin exhaust vocals), Babbsy (main segment of twin vocals and string wirings of distortion) and Batt Burton (keys modulator of the extraordinary), this finely tuned machine can really go some on the open road of rock!
First designed in September 2002, this baby was the blue print of babbsys plan to make radio and other areas of the musical media exciting again. "There's nothing wrong with pop music." He said, "Nothing at all. It's just that it's dog shit nowadays, and full of burgers and soft drink whores with no tunes"
So inviting Rhian, and Batt to London to take up the job as bassist and synth melody he started work on the dream machine that would be called Chet.
Misery came on board this project at a later date. Which soon changed the acceleration of the band From 0 to 1000 in 0.2 of a second as a matter of fact. Fact, being an argument. But then, mindless twaddle is undisputable. Unless you're bored. Or stoned.
Anyway.back to Chet. Influenced by such bands as The Pixies,Men At Work,Pavement,The Beatles,Sparkle Horse,The Cars,Scarfo,The Wannadies,The Cardiacs,Fear Factory,Violent Femmes,Venom and Marillion to mention but a few Chet set about test running the machine in front of public eyes.
XFM noticed the sprightly appeal of this awesome tank of power and, in 2003, Chet became a runner up in the XFM unsigned competition beating almost 1000 bands from all over Europe to the final 32. This was the first stepping stone of an already well built vehicle of monstrous proportions guiding it's way up the ladder of greatness.
Since this, Chet have been turning heads on the live circuit, building its polished reputation as one of London's "more different and interesting" bands becoming a firm favourite with real music fans. You know.the people that like a real tune served with a punch. Not a saucer of out of date milk.
Chet comes with four doors and reclining seats for ultimate music approval when listening. The gears are automatic so you can just kick off and enjoy. does not come with spoiler although free visor shades in glove compartment and lot's of silly hats and toys.
