Cat-Rhythm She puts the Haut in Haut Chachis. With her background in classical guitar, she adds an interesting new dynamic that is the glue that binds the band together. No open chord G, A, D, strummin' here!
Mark - upright Bass Now this is what brings a rock-a-billy feel to the music. He rips on the self-made custom, Stand Up Coffin Bass.
Smooth yet punchy, he really is a velvet bass player.
Jesse - Lead Givener on the guitar & makin it sing. He plays with a style all his own. His leads are smooth and he knows exactly how to set the mood. He's also the biggest Chachi we've ever seen.
Capt' Gorgeous - sticks and skins With a boom, tap, tap, G can get your hips a shakin. He's pretty goddamnit and don't nobody say different!
As all captains should be, he is the proud backbone of the Haut Chachis.
NOW SEE THIS!!

Influences
Surf music like the ventures, dick dale, shadowy men on a shadowy planet, huevos rancheros, some rockabilly, reverend horton heat, nekromantix. Just plain old rock n roll i.e. joan jett, ramones, CCR,AC/DC, slayer, the cure, pixies, weezer, the fantomas, specials, the cramps, NOMEANSNO, D.O.A., dead kennedys, the breeders, sonic youth, cypress hill, santana, black sabbath, and even some ska and jazz. There are too many influences to name. As it is with most, pretty much anything we've ever heard influences our sound!!
Sounds Like
Shadowy Men on a Shadowy Planet mixed with CCR and the Cure? No wait- How about the Beach Boys on Acid with a girl? Sounds like Surf rock with sass and flavour.
You've GOTTA just listen to more than one song to get the idea.
The Haut Chachis fall into a genre of their own best described as 'instrumental surf-a-billy-roll with a twist of ska'. Exciting and upbeat, this four piece band has been hell-bent on making waves throughout the interior since late 2004. The Haut Chachis create a unique sound that appeals to a wide audience and have played big stages and small, i.e. pubs/clubs, festivals, parties, city parks, theatres and even on the back of a flat deck truck.
The dandy song "Fell off My Shoes" is the theme music for a hot new comedy show called Off Centre Television thats rolling into its second season this fall. Vancouver Fans- Keep your eyes peeled for the show on a boob tube near you. Unfortunately you cant get it here in the Okanagan but these spanking hilarious episodes can be found on-line www.offcentretelevision.blogspot.com
If you rolled the Reverend Horton Heat (Cat's future ex-husband), The Ventures, Goldfinger and Shadowy Men on a Shadowy Planet through the dryer, you'd pull out the Haut Chachis and one sock.
The Haut Chachis have a song in the soundtrack of a movie called "Acid Bath" by Warped Reality Pictures out of Los Angeles. This is a sick and twisted indie horror flick that you have to see for yourself.
Hot dog! This band is cool daddy-o.
Why the name Haut Chachis???
The credit for our name goes to our friend, little lady Zaria.
She tried to say hot coffee, but being only 2 years old at the time
"hot chachi" was what emerged.
The band name was born, and it's the best ever!
Why is "hot" spelled "haut"? Cuz its a free country and folks are allowed to do silly things, thats why.
Hi Cat!! Sorry i missed you at rockanagan last year, I looked for you after but I think you had left already. Damn, I'd come try out for bass in the chachis if I lived in Kelowna...maybe I should move?....Find me a job and a place to live and you have a bass player....lol
CIRO is hosting '7 Blocks of Busking' July 5 in Kelowna. It will be an out door festival right downtown. Basically a big open mike night / fringe fest and good time. If you know anyone that might want to come out visit our Myspace or Facebook group for details. Kelly and Connor from the Cakewalk group are in the know too.
Its a true busking event and we are also raising money for the community radio station. Should be fun. All the best. Cam
