"One of the most notable and compelling aspects of Chaos Con Queso's latest and first full-length CD is their unique use of synth-driven keyboards and swooning cello solos. The album daps into a number of post-hardcore genres while still retaining its own distinctive 'CCQ' feel, which can only be described as, 'sorta like , digital-rockish, uh... it's like indie, experimental... aw, screw it, man! Just listen for yourself!' Notable tracks on the album include 'Casket' and 'King's Tale', which sew unique storylines into a quilt of grinding guitar work, clean keyboards, a steady back beat, and arousing vocals, whose musicianship and vastness is reminiscent of Queen's 'Bohemian Rhapsody'. CCQ's mix of talented guitar work, unique lyrics, and overall originality make 'Ghost Town' a surprise 5-star pick for 2007. Look out, ladies and gentlemen, it looks like CCQ has arrived, and we wouldn't be surprised if they are here to stay..."

"The Tran Siberian Orchestra on acid..."
~ Tim Lynch (famous local producer)
"They sound like one of our demos... but, like, really close... like, surprisingly close..."
- Nathan Winneke (vocals for HORSE the band)
"In seven years, you guys are going to sound exactly like us..."
- Erik Engstrom (keyboardist for HORSE the band)
"What I feel like at 2PM..."
- a local female phys. ed. teacher
"Super-duper, nut-punching good!"
- two 9-year-old black kids who live next door to Davey Jones
"Basically, CCQ is what would happen if The Tran Siberian Orchestra, Chiodos, and System Of A Down somehow got together and popped out six beautifully talented babies."

"Like LOTR turned into music..."

NOTE: We are no longer making music together. This page only exists for archival purposes and for people to listen to our music if they feel so inclined. Feel free to download both of our CDs, if you do a Google search for them, you can find a download link. Also, once I get more tech savvy I'll update this with information about what people are doing now. Thanks for the interest!
- We've been called everything from, "Acid Jazz," to, "Grunge," to, "Experimental Emotive Nintendocore." We've been compared to just about every band in the world, from any era, and none of them ever match one another.
- None of us are of Hispanic origin. The name rolled off of Dave Greer's tongue one day and has stuck ever since. And it's actually become somewhat of an accurate description of our music: chaotic and kinda cheesy.
- We don't try to be anything, except for fun. We write music with no real goals, soundwise.
- Our first show was at Northern Lights, on March 26th, 2006, with a buncha ska bands. It hailed.
- The cops got called on our practices on a regular basis for the first year or so (thanks, neighbors!). One time, we gave copies of our demo to the cops and they said they'd listen to it while working out in the gym.
- At some point, every member has hated every other member.
- We handed out and sent away over 300 free copies of our first demo, "Putting the Formula Through a Blender", not only all over our city, but all over the country, and much later all over the world. The demo itself was studio-recorded, but everything else was completely homemade and paid for with our own money. We hate our first demo.
- At some point, we've pissed off about 90% of the local hardcore community, unintentionally. Cellos are apparently, "gay."
- We like shows. We like going to them and we like playing them. We kinda like booking them, too.
- We strive to be the nicest, most sincere band we can be. All our messages and comments are hand-typed. Even though we're poor, we give things away for really cheap, sometimes even free. We write songs without worrying about what's, "normal." We genuinely treasure anyone and everyone who comes to a show, buys something, or even gives us a chance. Music is more than being popular, trendy, macho, or profitable. It's our lives.
If you want to watch a band that can be emotional, silly, angry, spiteful, positive, cliche, and original within the course of twenty-five minutes, check us out.
If you want to book a band that will play just about anywhere with just about anyone of any respected genre and totally freak out and maybe even steal the hearts of whoever comes... drop us a line.
We may be rough, we may be bizarre, we may not sound like what you're used to, but that might be exactly what you need.
