Chemically Restrained

About Me

Chemically Restrained's conception has a mid-1980s provenance. Over the years the group has morphed into a trio; wielding sonic streams of experimental free form jazz and punk rock with a twist of lime.
Barely eligible for citizenship, Don Benjamín de Cabezón grew up along the Mexican border and has recently come out of self imposed musical exile.
Vivíen Fuego has lived and traveled throughout this realm and others that cannot be named. She is deeply in love with her B.C. Rich Warlock. Together they recently made the Pacific Northwest home "because it doesn't suck as much as every place else".
Dr. Johnny Fever, III has only recently become Restrained. Prior engagements include slogging through several recordings with Texas-based noise entities Wolfmangler (and the acoustic offshoot, Garlic Yarg) and foraging for audio bliss as one half of Clumper.
Is now UNOFFICIALLY sponsored by Ninkasi Brewing Company of Eugene, OR.

Sounds Like: "Alan Bishop (Sun City Girls, Abduction Records, Sublime Frequencies) review of Chemically Restrained’s Greatest Hits Volume III-------"it’s great to know that there is no discernable beat on the entire record! a bit of rhythmic cadence on track 1 and 7 --just enough to get people thinking its going to get more accessible but then you put the hammer down again!....... it keeps your attention...it kept me listening...so I think it’s good for me! Nice prescription inside too...where can I get that redeemed?" : "CRx is to music as Picasso is to paint"-Shmu- manga artist: "Your music is very much in the tradition of how the Zen Monks are in the Here and Now with out Judgement like a sand painting on the Ocean shore that comes to life, then washes away."-Miguel Espinoza - musician: "a kind of beautiful sonic atrocity"- Marketing Guy- Ninkasi Brewing Co.:
