About Me
Well..it's strange putting this up since CP has been broken up for so long, but I guess its a way to relive the drunken past of our childhoods (as opposed to the drunked present of our adulthoods), and maybe a few of you might still be interested in hearing about what's old and new with CP and it's members.----------------------------------------------------

------------------------------------Choke Puppy never officially called it quits but due to personal differences around January of 2000 everyone went their separate ways. Some of members have continued to play in new bands and others have joined the real world and given up the crazy dream of playing music for life. Josh Hannon (singer) is currently the singer of The Bloodshot Hooligans along with his brother Tim, Big Jim, Max and Eric. Bloodshot is more successful than CP ever was and for good reason...if you get a chance...go see them, you won't be dissappointed. Eric Scanlon (guitar)was on hiatus from anything muscial for a few years, but is back again as the new guitarist for The Bloodshot Hooligans..replacing Brian when he left. Mike Cable (sax/vocals)is a recent newly wed and has not played in sometime. Corey Nolan (drums) has played in various bands over the years since CP. Some include The Bluebloods (boston), Never (boston), The Swaggerin Growlers (boston), Hardly (boston), The Ignorant (los angeles), & The Toughskins (los angeles). Chris Eskola (bass/trombone) is the consumate musician of the group...coming out of Berklee, he's an edumacated lad who plays multiple instruments. He's been in a multitude of bands since CP most notably Pivot and is currently working with a boston based metal band called Kage. If I know Chris...Kage will be a wicked metal show not to be missed. Chris is also in The Newts who play alot around the boston area. Vinny Van Kick...the original CP Bass player and one man rolling metal machine. If anyone knows where this guy went...please let us know..we miss you Vinny. He was last sited in Bristol on the west end. Evo Rondini (trumpet) has also gone the way of the newly wed and last I heard was pursuing a career in film/television.--------------------------------------------
