About Me


WELCOME!!!
STRIP CHASE
A Rock n Roll Party Band
2006 - 2009
For just under 3 years, Strip Chase was one of Northern Colorado's most sought after bands by those looking to rock out their bar, private party, corporate function or community event.
It all started one micro-brew infused night in Fort Collins, Colorado during the spring of 2006 when band founders Michael Nichols and Adam Youngquist went out hoping to party it up to some live music. Unfortunately, they couldn't find a single act playing they found fit their agenda for the evening - having a good time - since most acts were either too obnoxiously loud & heavy, too slow and acoustic or too frantic and bluegrassy. Seeing their was something seriously lacking, they decided they would just start their own band - a rock n roll party band playing all the great hits and sure fire fan favorites that would get the party started and keep it going all night long!
After Michael switched from guitar to bass, the two got to work picking and learning songs that would fit in with the strategy they had for the band. About 6 months later they began soliciting drummers and luckily found Randy Maizland to be a perfect fit almost immediately. Following the addition of Randy, the now trio kept working on songs and adding new ones until they knew what type of singer they needed to round out the band. Several more months and many auditions later, Dave Wolfe was asked to join the band as both a singer and a guitar player in early 2007.
With a complete line-up, Strip Chase broke out fast playing their first gig only a couple months later. The rest, they say, is history!

Behind the scenes - Here's us goofing off, practicing, and just having a good time!

Influences: In short, Strip Chase is a jukebox made of flesh and blood. Our catalog covers just about everything: Rock, Classic Rock, Alternative, New Wave, Heavy Metal, Grunge, Punk, Pop, Blues, Country, even R&B and Rap. But our hearts and souls lie with straight up rock n roll so expect a lot of that style to come through anything we play.

Strip Chase plays for your entertainment as much as for our own. If you're not having fun, the Band isn't having fun. We want you up in front - dancing, singing along and have a damn good time! And, will do whatever it takes to get you there. It's a pretty simple formula: people like us, they come out to a show, they buy drinks, the bar makes money, we get hired again, the corwd comes back......we're all happy!

Strip Chase not as predictable as most cover bands. Don't expect the same ol' cover band repetoire Sure, we'll play some of the standard crowd pleasers, but, expect some big suprises. You might not believe what song we might pull out at anytime.

If it hasn't been said enough already, Strip Chase plays fun, hard-rockin music for those of you, like us, looking for entertainment and music to really make a party or night out a damn good time!!
