   About The Chinkees
UNFORTUNATELY THE BAND HAS BEEN ON HIATUS SINCE APRIL 2002(OUR LAST SHOW WAS APRIL 16th, 2002 at the CONCORDE 2 in BRIGHTON, ENGLAND). There is no plan currently to record or tour. I hate when bands say "We've broken up just to get back years later for some hoopla reunion, so we'll leave it at WE'RE JUST TAKING A BREAK and one day we'll return with something. For now, enjoy the free tunes up here and we'll change them around every few months so you can download more songs. BIO: The Chinkees are about being positive and addressing things through music that are important to the band personally and in the world we share. It's not about being aggresively political nor about alienating people, or even about trying to change the world overnight. It's about searching for a brighter future.

Seeing the Chinkees live was one of my favourite gigs ever! I have been wondering since i know that mike is now married and all that what the rest of the band members are up to? Had a great time at the gig in Newcastle UK a few years ago and a good chat with Greg, what does he do now?

Hey our guitarist Mike Mahaffie, is going to be a guest DJ on live 105.3, and he is going to play Big World by you guys, alone with OpIve, Minor Threat, and Link-80. We just thought we would let you know because we are big fans.
