There are a lot of lies about The Chemistry Experiment. Here I give you only the truth.. in the form of ten FACTS!
The Chemistry Experiment live and make music in Nottingham, England... the gun and drugs capital of the western world (apparently)
The present day lineup of Steven J Kirk, The Paul Stone, Emily Kawasaki, Lee Tombs and Martin Craig have been together for about seven years.
The Chemistry Experiment once played a show on an old Chinese Junk on the river Seine in Paris.
John Peel once started to play 'Charles Aznavour Song' (the opening track on the 'Be My Postman' Ep) at the wrong speed. He then proceeded to talk over the false ending.
The first real Chemistry Experiment album, 'The Melancholy Death' took over five years to record. It was released in 2005.
The second real Chemistry Experiment album, 'Gongs played by voice', isn't finished yet - but it is almost certain to be released before 2010.
Steven J Kirk once opened a gig in Northampton by saying 'I've never been to Norwich before'. Not only was this inappropriate given where the gig was, it was also a lie as Steven J Kirk, and the rest of the band, have all been to Norwich.
Martin, the drummer, has got a cat called Dave. Steven and Paul (who are not gay lovers) have a rabbit called Darth Vader. Lee has two dragons, who are called Seamus and Brian but are not real. Emily has an armadillo tank called Jeremy.
Giraffes have four legs.
The Chemistry Experiment aren't making music for money, fame or adulation. They are doing it because it's fun. That doesn't mean, however, that money, fame and adulation wouldn't be gratefully accepted.
Its been selling faster than we expected, and we currently only have around a quarter of our stock left - so we thought we'd better you all know that if you want a copy then now would be a good time to pick one up! If you buy it from the link above then you're buying it direct from us, the label aren't taking a cut - so its a bit like Fair Trade for struggling musicians.
International mail-order is available, just follow the instructions.
Thank you very much, and sorry for making a mess of your profile. If its any kind of consolation, we don't have a MySpace bot, so I'm leaving these comments the old fashioned way. Three -and-a-half thousand of them. My life is so exciting.

My New Book: Butterfly Tai Chi: Health, Energy and Tranquility in 10 Minutes a Day
Description
The author was inspired by observing butterflies to develop a system of Tai Chi that could be performed in a limited space and within a relatively short time. He designed Tai Chi movements that naturally enhance the Qi flow in the order directed by Chinese medicine and whilst it can be used to treat a wide variety of illnesses, its real power is in preventing illness. Succinct and effective the reader can learn this form of Tai Chi within a day and can be performed anywhere -no matter how little space available.
