Established in 1988, the Atomic Chihuahuas' legendary status as Gackle's most celebrated Rock and Roll ensemble continues despite the dissolution of the band in the mid 1990s. Founding members include Slosh Chihuahua, Wolfgang Chihuahua, Paul Chihuahua and a guy named Gil.
During their short time together, the Chihuahuas (originally the Atomic Chihuahuas from Hell) left a significant impression on the budding music scene of Gackle, North Dakota and the world around them.
It's been said that although less than 400 people ever acquired the Atomic Chihuahuas' original cassette recordings, and although even fewer people ever heard them perform live, each of those people was deeply influenced by the band; many of them are now homeless, incarcerated, hospitalized or dead.
Slosh Chihuahua's original vocals and instrumental solos continue to inspire new generations of fans. He currently is involved in a solo project as well as playing as a session bass player for bands like Hidden Comrades, Enigma Machine and has been actively rehearsing with Wolfgang Chihuahua, although details of that project are currently being kept top, top secret.
Paul Chihuahua left the burgeoning Gackle music scene for the Wild West, eventually settling in Colorado where he now divides his time between charitable work and his role as the lead guitarist in deadbubbles.
Gil left North Dakota for the Seattle grunge scene in the early 1990s. His musicianship, although uncredited, can found on multiple recordings from that period. His agent is currently in talks with major publishers about publishing a series of memoirs in six volumes.
Wolfgang Chihuahua left the United States for an extended period of time and while he enjoyed experimenting with the transcendental modes of east-asia he eventually returned to the United States to start life anew as a singer-songwriter. His exact location is unknown, but he has surfaced occassionally with Slosh.
Agents for all of the Chihuahuas are currently discussing the terms and relative potential harm to humanity involved in releasing a much requested boxed-set of the comprehensive recordings of the Atomic Chihuahuas.
Viele liebe Grüße an unseren deutschen Fans!
Die Atomic Chihuahuas wurde 1988 in den vereinigten Staaten gegrundet. Eine speziellle Beziehung hat sich zwischen den Chihuahuas und die Stadt Itzehoe in Schleswig Holstein entwickelt. Es ist gesagt worden, daß fast siebzig Prozent von allen Chihuahua fans in Itzehoe einmal gewohnt haben (die andere dreißig wurde wahrscheinlich in Gackle beziehungsweise).
Heutzutage machen die individuelle Chihuahuas neue Projeken außerhalb der ehemaligen Band.
Paul Chihuahua wohnt heute in Colorado wo er seine Zeit in die moderne neue-garage Band "deadbubbles" beschäftigt.
Slosh Chihuahua arbeitet jetzt im Sushiforschungslabor in North Dakota, Tokyo und anderswo. Er spielt immernoch viele Musik, obwohl der singt selten mehr.
Wolfgang Chihuahua wohnt heute irgendwo in den vereinigten Staaten. Er ist ledig, kinderlos und allein! Der hat seit mehr als zehn Jahren in den japanischen Hinterländen gewohnt, wo er die Ursprung des Seins gesucht hat. Leider hat der nichts gefunden, aber es hat trotzdem viel spaß gemacht. Heute versucht er nochmal neue Musik wieder zu komponieren. Es kann sein daß etwas neues kommt bald. Warte nur!
Gil ist während der neunziger Jahren nach Seattle gefahren. Er hat sich damals viel mit den damaligen Grunge-Bewegung beschäftigt. Er schreibt im Moment einen Großstadtroman.
