Duane.. 30$ ?..you'll never get rich!...I sent my address etc to your Chevelles website contact atomic@space.net.au...just in case one of your "more loyal" fans didn't like other Chevelles fans talking to the boys and seeing my address here decided to come round and explain a few things to me !..hey ..might as well jump ..if your fit enough!!!...that diet of coronas must be working.. cheers dude, Paul
shit if we'd known we could drink those beers ..we would'na had Stevie killed...
i have already sent an email with our numbers and stuff to Jeff c/o info the amplifier..so if you guys would be happy to have us on the bill again...why we'd saddle up in a second..
by the way ...in all the commotion i forgot to get my "racing pink"T-shirt and a CD...looks like I can get the CD thru 78's ...but what about the T-shirt any tips ?..... once again respect for the chance of the gig man (Paul aka Largo D Heavens )
respect for the opportunity to play the gig with you last night dudes ....by the way our drummer borrowed a powerade from your rider... the video of his execution will be on youtube shortly
What a great honor to be included among the fans and friends of The Chevelles. Thanks to you, I can give up coffee now. The only wake-me-up I need in the morning is a shot of Chevelles. Long may your rock! Randy
The Chevelles Barbarella Girl God: Introducing The Chevelles Wicked Cool Records
After nearly 20 years and over 1000 shows played in their native Australia and Europe, Perth's The Chevelles will release Barbarella Girl God: Introducing The Chevelles on May 27th. Although it's not their first American release, it's their proper introduction since it's a great anthology and three new tracks of the best chrome polished, guitar chomped powerpop ever. In fact, Barbarella Girl God: Introducing The Chevelles is so cool that it's the most fun one could have without taking their clothes off or killing brain cells. Go here to read the review.
