Chase HQ

2:37pm Thursday 10th July 2008 in What's On

HOLA, we're the Project: Chase HQ Allstars, a bunch of fat drunks who like to play some reggae tunes!

We’re a 10 piece reggae/punk band who hale from the entire WA area.

Our line up is:

Burge – guitar and vocals
Matt "Hollywood" Foster - bass and loops
G-money - bass and keys
Big D - vocals
Si - guitar
Sara - trumpet
J-Bizzle - saxaphone
Easton - drums
G-Midi - samples, scratches and keys
BP - producer of funk

We’re influenced by the Cali reggae scene, which was started in the early 90's by the band Sublime.

We mix reggae, punk, dub, rock, ska and mariachi music together in a tombola of beer, we sing about summer BBQs, scoring with hot chicks, and being broke!

We’ve been jammin stuff out now since 2005, but we’ve all been kicking it round the local scene for many years in various bands.

We like to think of our style as the bastard son of the Long Beach Dub Allstars and Bargain Music in the Mighty Bosstones back garden, chillin’ it to the Dust Junkys with a 24 pack of Corona and a bottle of Havana seven year rum!

We’re opening our set on the main stage at 2.40pm to a brief cover of Inner Circles ‘Bad Boys’, so if you’re a fan of the reggae legends, or just used to watch COPS, then don’t miss this!

If anyone wants us to play any gigs, parties or divorce proceedings just give us a shout and we will work something for you, be it full band line up or just an acoustic set.
