The Chemicals

About Me

After a long string of houseparty quasi-performances across the greater Champaign-Urbana area, innumerable changes in membership and instrument assignments, and a horrible bout of whooping cough, four members arose from the ashes of their rocky past, fusing into the band you know (and love) today.August of 2004 was the first live performance of the Chemicals by official name and lineup. Since then, the Chemicals have shared the stage wtih acts including Earlimart , Apollo Sunshine, the M's, Via Satellite, and varoius apperances with locals Mad Science Fair, the Frame, Headlights, Green Light Go, Terminus Victor, the Living Blue, and many more.....While making plans for an offical studio recording, the group contines to tour throughout the area (i.e. within 10 mi of C-U). Stay tuned to myspace for new recordings and show info!!!
