   About Chappo


Buy the new album Media Machine digitally here at itunes or the the album and artwork here at Cdbaby.

CHAPPO is indeed indie space rock. It began with a quest for galactic equanimity but ended with chaos. It ended with a synth unicorn, a pair of metallic arms and a few doppelgangers. CHAPPO is a cross pollination of swamp funk and indie pop with phantasmagorical lyrics, space adventures, and a rock that gets twangy. CHAPPO combines the energy of Mick Jagger with the brittleness of Neil Young . The band's quirkiness is reminiscent of Beck or The Flaming Lips, along with a dirty vintage pop-blues found in The White Stripes, Kinks, and early Stones.

Chappo -
Love the new tracks on the page, brother. I may be out in NYC for your Oct 7 show. If I come - could you play Jubilee just for me? It's one of my all time favorite songs.
