Indeed, where does all the time go? Blitzgigs.de presents yet another great night at Festsaal Kreuzberg with Chain & The Gang bringing the party music and you, hopefully, your partying mood. Supported by New York’s The K-Holes it’s going to be an autumn evening to remember.
As a live act, Chain The Gang are already feared by other groups as the most fiery, provocative, and showstopping outfit onstage today. Everyone wants to see them, no one wants to follow them. Chain The Gang simply has what the other groups don’t: carnal thrills, tough dancing rhythms, audience involvement, show business panache, and hard-to-beat underworld connections.
Can you hang? Can you dig it? In Cool Blood bears an invisible addendum on the sleeve: Not for the faint at heart. It ain’t your grandpa’s bop and it don’t play by the rules of today’s lame game. It’s a sound for the other kind, the dirty one-percent on the lost highway. If you can swing, don’t wait for “Heavy Breathing” after the telephone rings. “Nuff Said”.

Everybody was involved in other bands (Golden Triangle, Bezoar, Georgiana Starlington). K-Holes was intended to be a big party with no strings attached. Somehow it stuck, though, as the big party with no strings attached lifestyle will sometimes do.
