Frater Chaovsky and the God-Fearing Mongrels

About Me

The God-Fearing Mongrels are an indeterminate number of lowlifes, gamblers, losers and hobos who came together in Frater Chaovsky's head during the Great Drunken Binge of February 2007, in which a demo album was conceived and recorded out of thin air in only 20 days.

Frater Chaovsky is known for hating the process of writing lyrics, smoking a pack and a half a day and brewing secret home-made liquors in his basement. His vocal growl is a byproduct of the two previous activities plus a healthy dose of contempt for a world that has forgotten the joys of craftmanship and DIY.

The Mongrels will play any instrument known to man but have a preference for weird, old and home-made junk, resulting in a drunken blues-country-folk sound with the inevitable experimental touch that comes from not really knowing how to play anything in depth.
