2008. Having loved the vibe and flow with Lisa + several other artists whom MICKEY and MARQUE had played with over the CLF WEEKENDER, we [The CLF] having been recently invited to perform at the BATTERSEA ART CENTERS BURST Festival, saw a great opportunity to put together the Chronics + some of our favourite Artists from the WEEKENDER in an established / semi-permanent set up + THE CHRONIC LOVE ORCHESTRA was born.
