What is Chrome Promotions exactly?
Lately, We have gotten some questions and thought we would put the answers out here on myspace. If we offend anyone, our apologies, but honestly, this is the way that it happened and that is all we can offer is the way of the Chrome, nothing more, nothing less.
On July 15, 2003, dezzz lost her long time job with a banking company in Korporate Amerika. When the dust settled, it was simple for dezzz to see what a blessing it was for her. She had been trapped in Korporate Hell for many years, and honestly the years of this hell had taken their toll on her spirit. It would take some time to heal, and after realizing that she still had some stifled dreams, she could re-awaken, things began to look up. The first thing she did was put together a business plan for an LLC. She named it Chrome, well because she is a biker and Chrome is something that her biker spirit loves!
Originally the business was about helping the world to see that bikers and their lifestyles were not scary, dangerous or anything to worry about at all! There were some poker runs, some toy runs, some articles in a magazine called ‘Reflections in Chrome’, then, in 2005, dezzz had an opportunity to go to Africa and do some graduate study research. The only down side of this, was that Chrome would have to take a vacation while dezzz was out of the country.
Funny thing happened while dezzz was in Africa, she found that she still had a strong passion for LIVE LOCAL and ORIGINAL music. And honestly, it was all over Africa. There were clubs that spun records, but when there was LIVE LOCAL and ORIGINAL music playing anywhere, people would flock to that club. It was exactly what she has not seen in the USA for a long time. It was the stuff that she remembered happening as a kid, when she would go out and no one wanted the record spinners, they only wanted the LIVE LOCAL and ORIGINAL music. It was not the metal and punk scene that dezzz was familiar with, but the passion was contagious and someday there will be a Chrome tour in Africa!
Why LIVE LOCAL and ORIGINAL? Honestly those are the folks who work the hardest. Those are the people who we should support, they are the geniuses and dezzz made a plan in Africa to do something about it when she got home. She got back to the states in mid 2006. dezzz started to go to some shows of a few local bands who only played LIVE LOCAL and ORIGINAL music. She remembered thinking “I had found it. The lost dream, this is what I want to do – I want to promote bands like this and keep our music alive!â€
The first show for Chrome Promotions was held on July 14, 2007. Originally this show was set up so that these bands could meet Chrome and find out if the bands would want to work for Chrome and Chrome would want to work with the bands. The night of the show there was what we like to call Chrome magic in the air. The bands that played that night were, Skull Theory, Silence All, Weaponry, Hebron, Dichotic and 7 Plagues. We at Chrome will forever be grateful to these 6 bands for being there for our first show.
If you would like to help us out, that would be awesome. We know that this business that we live in can be painful and competitive. Just know that Chrome was based on something that no one can take away from us. It is a dream and dreams are meant to come true, even the ones that involve metal, punk, motorcycle and tattoos. So, get in touch with us if you have any questions and be sure to let us know what we can do to make it better for you.
Looking forward to seeing you at some upcoming shows!
