   About The Chicken Chokers

The Chicken Chokers lead the beat.

Their signature sound combines a pounding 4-man rhythm string section, ever-crazed fiddling, infamous 'air-raid siren' vocals, and the hallmark Chicken Choker Big Boy Chorus. Throughout the 80's the Chokers entertained many, influenced a select few, and recorded 2 albums for Rounder Records before exploding in all musical directions.

A recent 20 year reunion revealed that the Choker Drive survived the explosion. Combining the unvarnished, primitive energy of the early years with mementos from 5 separate musical journeys, the band sounds better than ever, still inspiring amateur dancers and professional revelers to higher states of consciousness.

Hello chick chokes... at one time I had the album with you on one side and "The Horseflies" on the other - but it was stolen in a B&E - I am sad about that 'lo these many years. Nice to find you again on the ether-streets of virtual life. Great tunes. Play on.

Thanks for your friendship & Support!

World’s greatest lawyer is ready to cross-examine you
Does watching Denny Crane get you in the mood? It does me, and I’m Denny Crane. Let’s get frisky together Saturday Night as we watch DVD highlights from the fourth season of my greatest legal cases and personal exploits. From there, the next step is love, and just as in my law career, I’ve never failed to satisfy. Denny Crane.
