Chemical War Babies
The continued story of the return of the second coming of the Chemical War Babies
Okay, we are taking the meaning of "a single reunion gig" to new heights.
We will play at Maloe Melo
in Amsterdam, on August 20 (2003, that is, in case we don't update
this page again for a couple of years), with Whittlesea
and Sexbomb Nagasaki. Doors
open at 21.30, gigs 22.00 until late.
History
Chemical War Babies are an Amsterdam-based band who play music with references
to punkrock, sixties thrash, rythm'n'blues and more. Names? Hmm, think of Iggy and
the Stooges, MC5 or Nomads, but with a nineties sound.
The band got started early in 1995, when Karel and Martin joined the other
three. The band has played under various names, Lovecraft and Super
Kanker Mario en the Tering Turtles among them, but it appears that
the name Chemical War Babies is here to stay.
The Music
Here are a couple of songs from our last regular gig, back in 1998. RealAudio is
good enough for listening online, mp3 is better for downloading.
