But how drop-dead awesome would it be to walk down the street in 2004 with a shirt on that says "CHAVEZ - PENTAGRAM RING"? You can bet I'd pay for that NOW! I'd even settle for something that says Railroad Jerk... (I guess...)
(Did Run On have shirts? Man, if I could slip on a black tee with the cover of the "On/Off" EP on the front...)

Me: "That's such a cool shirt - can I ask where you got it?"Girl: "Oh, I think it was my brother's."Me: "Oh, I see."Girl: "Wait, what is it? What does this mean?"Me: "Oh, it's a band."Girl's Dad: "Ha! We never really knew! I think she just likes the colors. Now we know!"
Anyway, yeah - I would love a Polvo "Exploded Drawing" shirt.

I didn't realize it was so massively uncool to have music related clothing for babies though. I guess I can't let our kid wear his Rock N Roll Preschool Ramones onesie we were given.

Someone buy him a copy of Rembradnt Pussyhorse and tell him that it's just fine to say "Psychic, Powerless..." unless you're trying to impress the NY Times with your edginess...

One of the guys from Cul De Sac was in Bullet Lavolta too iirc.

just booked for pitchfork fest this summer, gonna have to try and go. was saying on chicago thread this is pretty much the first '90s band reunion i've been excited about but they haven't been playing in the midwest at all so i am pretty pumped for this.
― congratulations (n/a), Thursday, 5 April 2012 17:12 (twelve years ago) link
chavez were selling tshirts friday night at the bowery ballroom. they were great. played one new song that had a little bit of choogle in it.
― mizzell, Monday, 21 May 2012 20:21 (twelve years ago) link
more detailed follow-up from pitchfork fest for the chavez fans:* i had no idea matt sweeney played without a pick, or that his teeth were so messed up* james lo is still a fucking monster drummer* sounded really really good, their bass player muffed a few notes but they took it in stride* apparently this was one of the smallest crowds for any of the pfork fest sets :( i couldn't tell because i was way up front, behind only some teenagers camping out for beach house* i was so happy and so were a bunch of other 30/40-something dudes up front singing along. if they had played "relaxed fit" i woulda died

i never knew the bass player was gary marshall's son
― mizzell, Wednesday, 18 July 2012 20:40 (twelve years ago) link
what? me neither ... is that true?
― congratulations (n/a), Wednesday, 18 July 2012 20:54 (twelve years ago) link
I didn't either. The link for Scott Marshall from Chavez's wikipedia page goes to Scott Marshall the director's page, but that one doesn't mention Chavez at all.

Oh wait, yeah it does, one sentence buried at the end:
Marshall also played bass guitar in the 90s indie rock band Chavez.[citation needed]
― heated debate over derpy hooves (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Wednesday, 18 July 2012 20:58 (twelve years ago) link
Yeah, Gary Marshall is mentioned a bunch in the liner notes to that double disc reissue thing Matador put out a couple of years ago.

I was wearing my Grifters T shirt whilst tending to my pesty Leylandi earlier this evening.
Do I win a prize?
I remember seeing Chavez supporting GBV at Sheff Leadmill last month (or was it last century) Great band.
Then there's that band from Lussanne , Switzerland that aren't to dissimilar in form or name. It's doing my head in and i'm too pissed to google
― Jessie Fer Ark (Mobbed Up Ping Pong Psychos), Thursday, 19 July 2012 00:05 (twelve years ago) link
thanking u for the notes. i had no idea sweeney played without a pick and as a lifelong failed chavez guitar transcriber that's kind of a mindfuck.
also, it really doesn't get any better than james lo.
― call all destroyer, Thursday, 19 July 2012 00:21 (twelve years ago) link
aaaahaha i also had no idea about the garry/scott marshall connection; they totally look alike too!

lol at this live vid from 1995, before the song starts, someone in the audience says "...Gary Marshall's son"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jc-1OJFhiT8
