PEACE THROUGH MUSIC

About Me

UNFORTUNATELY THE BAND HAS BEEN ON HIATUS SINCE APRIL 2002(OUR LAST SHOW WAS APRIL 16th, 2002 at the CONCORDE 2 in BRIGHTON, ENGLAND). The plan is to get in the studio sometime in 2007 for either a full length release or an EP. BIO: The Chinkees are about being positive and addressing things through music that are important to the band personally and in the world we share. It's not about being aggresively political nor about alienating people, or even about trying to change the world overnight. It's about searching for a brighter future.
