About Me

Two ChileKings is a progressive rock duo that takes prog back to it's roots. Dondi Ledesma (native to Iloilo, Philippines) and Christopher Messer (native to Alvin, Tx. USA) worked together as bandmates in a classic rock/blues band based out of Manila, Philippines named "The Wally Gonzalez Band". Dondi and Christopher had such a unique bassist/drummer connection, that they decided to record together. The outcome of it all was the first Two ChileKings album named "THWIP". Soon to be released.Two ChileKings take a unusual approach to prog by using only lead piccolo bass, electric bass, fretless bass, keyboards, acoustic drums and vocals. There is no electric nor acoustic guitar. This instrument combination delivers a brutal sound! Two ChileKings is old school prog in raw form.
