Like
hot oil on a stripper pole, like KY Jelly on a Whiffle
ball bat, like that mystery residue inside your leather
hot pants, Chow Nasty is the musical lube that keeps San
Francisco slippery. For years the electro-sexual trio
has riled up clubs, galleries, warehouses, and garages
across the city, honing their punk-funk party rock to
dangerously debauched levels. As they became legendary
for their crowd-swimming live shows, fans clamored for
something more than enhanced libidos and ringing ears
to take home with them. Hot on the heels of an exciting
EP Chow Nasty delivers their debut full
length, Super (Electrical) Recordings.
The boys began work on the record in the Spring of ‘06
with recent devotee, Stones Throw Records prez,, beat
aficianado, and production wiz Peanut Butter Wolf at the
helm. He had seen the band play with neo-funksters Chromeo
in is home town of Los Angeles.
Unaware of the impression that they had made Chow Nasty
was surprised when they received a call from Wolf, months
later, asking if they would perform with his new artist,
fabled electro-soul hero, Gary Wilson. Shortly after he
signed on to produce the band’s debut album: The
hip-hop legend’s maiden voyage as producer of a rock
‘n’ roll record. The project would take place
at various California locations including famed Studio
C at Prairie Sun Studios in rural Cotati. The room where
Tom Waits had made many a masterpiece.
The game plan was simple: Anything goes. This approach
led to such incorporations as congas, horn sections, full
blown percussion parties, and a visit from Pep Love of
Hieroglyphics. These aspects, and then some, you’ll
find, work in perfect funked up harmony with Chow Nasty’s
party starting grooves and Peanut Butter Wolf’s prowess
and guidance in the beat department.
Super (Electrical) Recordings is equal parts musical,
fun, and soulful. The result is a highly ambitious record
that refreshingly wants nothing more than for listeners
to get down.
Chow Nasty continues to share stages with a diverse cast
of artists ranging from Morris Day and the Time, Cameo
and The Ohio players to The Eagles of Death Metal and
Louis XIV. The band is excited to translate their antics
to record and to carry on as they have been, nice and
nasty. An expansive exploration of sound and perfomance
is a constant driving force for them, and they’d
love for everyone to come along for the ride.
