Chain & The Gang - Brisbane Added, 2nd Melbourne Show, Supports Confirmed

“Ian Svenonious is the greatest rock’n’roll frontman in the world” - Anthony Carew (SMH / The Age) “ … Chain & the Gang is one of the coolest live bands anywhere” - Henry Rollins

Just six (6) weeks away from the debut Australian tour of Chain & The Gang - the latest creative vehicle for Washington DC activist Mr.Ian Svenonious, ex-The Make Up / Nation Of Ulysses and a man described by fellow Washington native Henry Rollins as “a genius” - and Feel Presents are pleased to announce two brand new shows.

Friday 10th March: Melbourne, The Curtin Bandroom + Primo & Parsnip

Tuesday 14th March: Brisbane, The Foundry (double bill with I Heart Hiroshima)

Tickets for both shows are on-sale today Friday 3rd February

Svenonious, the sonic-architect behind socio-political minded groups The Make Up, Nation Of Ulysses, Weird War (and others) and one of the worlds GREAT front men formed Chain and The Gang in 2009. Since that time Chain ... have released four (4) must have albums including 2014’s Minimum Rock ’n’ Roll, a 31 minute slab of garage-funk with a punk heart and a social awareness that has aspirations beyond the genre - any genre!

"The first time I saw Ian Svenonious play live was when he jumped onstage with Fugazi and started playing an organ that happened to be onstage. He was amazing. Not only is the man a brilliant musician, having put out records through his many bands, the Nation Of Ulysses, the Make Up, Cupid Car Club, Felt Letters, XYZ, to name a few, his newest incarnation Chain & the Gang is one of the coolest live bands anywhere. The man has more charisma than most." - Henry Rollins

Alongside vocalist and chief provocateur Svenonious, are bassist, synthesist and composer Anna Nasty, guitarist Francy Graham and drummer Fiona Campbell, while Svenonius himself, is also a filmmaker, a dancer, a youtube host and a writer with his author credit appearing on the books “The Psychic Soviet” and “Supernatural Strategies”. Individually these members are scintillating but together they’re something greater than the parts. An irresistible combo that provides the best hope for the future and the only answer to the embarrassing slime pit called “culture” nowadays.
