The Chauncers

Bio:

.. The Chauncers are a spirited and distinguished collective of Cincinnati-based musicians—"chancers" and romancers, ramblers and gamblers, notorious for a combined musical pedigree that's been everywhere, man. Of course there's the music, without which little of this would have any point: since no Chauncer blueprint existed, the reckoning was open to anyone, and (albeit lo-fi) roots-inflected tromps, straight-down rockers and organ-riddled ballads all rose to the surface fairly quickly.

Here's how it began: In late 2007, those who would become Chauncers began writing and recording songs into beaten-up 4-track and dusty Dictaphone recording devices. These musicians included Mike Lamping (Heartless Bastards), Bobby Gayol (Moth, the Virgins), Lisa Walker (Wussy, Haywards), Kendall Davis (Ditchweed, the 13s) and Billy Catfish (solo, Lonesome Tumblers). Who else would have the fortitude for this? You'll all want to hear what choir-trained newcomer Anne Radakovich adds to the sonorous textures, and the stories she could tell. Although the band was borne sans lofty aspirations, it soon became apparent to all involved that, hey, these songs we've got aren't half bad. Which is a really good place for a band to start.

Rehearsal continued though the winter months, and in no time the coterie took to the stage with much aplomb (big words, I know, but you should've been there!). Homemade videos already complement most of the Chauncers' home recordings, and footage is currently being collected for a documentary-style feature about their "official" recordings, now underway.

As I said, the Chauncers are in the midst of studio recordings and plan to release their debut in late 2008. And I'll see you out there, in the meantime.
