Even though The Nebulas love our chunk, I don't think we revived the art form
(unless you're only talking about the last 3 or 4 years) - that credit would
have to go to Satan's Pilgrims or The Fathoms - those guys really revived the
omnipresent wet chunk it in the 1990s (1994 and 1996, respectively) - and one
can certainly not dismiss the Woodies - all time super trad chunk-masters of the
universe who were doing it in the mid-90s even though their masterpiece wasn't
released until '98 or '99, albeit posthumously (Ferenc should win an award for
putting that out). So, among those three bands, you've got a total of 8 CDs
that should satisfy your reverb addiction for awhile & at least with the
Pilgrims, I think its fairly easy to discern what Scott Pilgrim is doing most of
the time - its Bobby Pilgrim's parts that are harder to hear as they are down in
the mix, but its all just icing on the surf cake (although the cake was one
candle short during their latter phases, it still doesn't diminish the impact of
those albums). And if you already own and cherish those works of art, and are
craving new chunk - fear not, the new The Nebulas studio album has been recorded
and is now undergoing somewhat intense (but not anal retentive) post-production
scrutiny and analysis & should be released within 2-8 months. In the short
term, The Nebulas live KFJC Pitstop recording should be out in the next couple
of months on Double Crown Records. No studio trickery there - just three guys
jacked up on Red Bull & one guy jacked up on his own nerves and high risk
eating/drinking/smoking/lack-of-exercise/smoking/drinking/eating again
lifestyle. Just think of "Tweak" on South Park if he chainsmoked, had a DSL
connection without parental supervision and unlimited access to Mommy's medicine
cabinet (or access to a guy that works at a rest home and drives a van, as the
case may be).
