This spring, Chain & the Gang will release its fourth full-length album, Minimum Rock n Roll, on Ian Svenonius' imprint, Radical Elite. Chain & the Gang is led by Svenonius, the prime mover behind the bands Nation of Ulysses and The Make-Up, and author of two books - Psychic Soviet and Supernatural Strategies for Making a Rock 'n' Roll Group- not to mention online talk show host and auteur filmmaker. The band deals in a new genre called CRIME ROCK that updates rock n roll, blues, and gospel music of the late 50s /early 60s for the discerning few.
