This FRIDAY in HAMILTON at HOMEGROWN
We just got added to this fantastic bill, so come out and love it:
Hamilton’s own practitioners of contemplative key board wizardry know as Illitry, join force’s with Never Evers, Brooklyn’s sassy garage rock renegades. All in all, this is the show to bring your drunk uncle to, and I mean that in the best way possible. Get details here and get it done.

WE CHANGED OUR NAME…now it’s just CHRISTIAN HANSEN
With all the change over the last year, we figured “why not embrace it?”. CHATA was a great name and it served it’s purpose, but now there is a new purpose, a new dream and new goals. All the old songs are still great, and we’ll play the hell out of them, just with a bunch of new ones too.
Christian’s work with people who have autism continues, and the name change is not in anyway a political move. It’s just a gut move. In this band, we always try to listen to our gut; to that little voice that’s telling you what you need to do. That’s what we’ve always done and it’s gotten us this far.

OUR NEW ALBUM IS DONEZOE
It’s being mixed as we speak by audio super-thug, Doug Organ at Edmontone Studio.
I don’t know what to say about this record….. except that it’s pretty different than anything we’ve done before. It’s less Village People, more Thin Lizzy. More Bruce Lee and less Van Damme. It’s sadder, badder and just plain radder and we’re super excited for you to hear it so stay tuned.
