The Chevron Whores are the soundtrack to everything a local knows about Surfers Paradise; Sex, Drugs, Fakes, Posers, and Neon. The band's name itself is a play on words that exposes the hypocrisy of being beautiful. The Chevron Renaissance is Surfers Paradise's premier yuppie shopping mall. However, look behind the expensive make-up and clothes and you will see women whoring themselves off to rich, arse-hole boyfriends, and young professionals prostituting themselves to the daily grind of greedy corporate interests.
The Chevron Whores debut EP Saturday Night Sin was the first concept album ever written about life in this tourist mecca. It is a mini epic based upon a single hedonistic night out in town. The kind of night that starts with a maxi-taxi into the strip and ends waking under a park bench surrounded by families having BBQ breakfast. The Players are real, and the names have not been changed to protect the innocent.
Now in 2007, The Chevron Whores are busy promoting their latest single, and this time the boys think they have cracked the future of Rock 'n' Roll. With their new 6minute 17second rhapsody "Mistress of the Night", The Whores have moulded rocks commercial viability, prog's musical dexterity, and punks heaving aggression into one corker of a song. Brisbane’s Time Off Magazine described Mistress of the Night as;
"An epically riotous piece that is bound to take you back to the days when prog and punk were played with such passion."
~Dan Condon, Time Off Magazine (20-26 June 2007).
The band will be heading back into the studio soon to follow up Mistress of the Night with their sophomore EP – a disc that is bound to turn heads. Wolfmother may have captured the retro rock sound of Early Led Zep’ and Sabbath, But the Whores are looking to break down the walls of Zep’, Deep Purple, Yes, DK’s, Iggy, Floyd and Queen, then rebuild it all again for the 21st century. Come 2008, Wolfmother may be getting "Paranoid" but The Chevron Whores are the band who'll bring the "Revolution"!!
