a mother's love...new car smell...a freshly baked cake...a steep mountain road on a stormy night...kittens...robots contemplating tears...a Sony Betamax eating up your favorite videotape...a frat house after it has been Febreze'd...a panic attack...the band that got stranded on Gilligan's Island...daddy's breath after an office party...a band that might cover the theme from Lidsville...
Formed in a surprisingly ambient basement in suburban Kansas City in 1980, BOBBY & THE CHUXX have been recording music on a semi-regular basis for over two decades, amassing a whopping 230 songs on 17 albums. Sure, a lot of it's crap, but c'mon, 230 songs? Isn't quantity more important than quality?
The band's 18th album, MR. POORLUCK BUYS SOME CHINA, is NOW AVAILABLE at CD Baby.com.
You can also buy the band's 17th album, WAKING PRESIDENT WAHID at CD Baby.com.
