CHROMERS MYTHOLOGY
The Beachchromers: " degenerate, itinerant, drug addled, vagrant,
bohemian and detirmindly defiant, are arguably
THE GREAT WHITE HOPE
for nothing less the salvation of ROCK N ROLL itself. (or not)
They are not only about TRADITION, they are about THE FUTURE &
BEYOND, their about FUN INTHE SUN,their about FEARLESSNESS
in the face of a bleak "POST JOHNNY" ( hang on a minute.......
holy
crap..... its' still living) NEO CONSERVATISM.............their about
SLIPPIN' & A SLIDDIN'.. no hiddin' , no quater, no retreat baby ....&
no
surrender."
" actually we was always just a good little rock n roll band",
was the response from ORGANIST Felix "THE CAT" Chapple when
asked to
comment on THE LEAD GUITARISTS drunken, post gig ramblings after a particularly
eventfull gig at THE LOCAL FIVE & DIME where
said guitarist Jeff " NEARLY "Harrison had to be forcibly removed
from the stage for, according to DRUMMER Grant "RALPHIE" Bueno's
sworn testimony " behaving like a complete and utter ASSHOLE ........UTTER.
UTTER UTTER ASSHOLE................."
HARRISON was" unavailable for commert" at the time of printing.
Having seen the band several times myself , I would have to say
that what they are REALLY about is ROCK N ROLL.........well that and doing
drugs
and pulling "chicks".
In the Summer of MILLENIUM&TWO a scratchy acetate of some EMBRYONIC,
SONIC EXPERIMENTS in SURF/PULP found its VAGABOND way onto an unsuspectig
BLACK MARKET.Having made the dubious transission from BLACK SHELLAC to
the
digital domain the MYTH, the LEGEND and............ the SO CALLED REALITY
of THE BEACHCHROMERS becames harder and harder to unravel .....................................it
too is still living......................
