chris chinchilla has quit art brut

... in case anybody cares.
"personal reasons".
jasper from the art goblins (eddie's 'old' band) is his replacement. i seem to recall he is also blonde and wears specs. all future gigs are going ahead.

OH CHRIS, WOT HAVE U DONE?!

    Shame that.

    He'll live on in my memory for the one time I went "Great gig!" to him very enthusiastically and he looked a little scared.

    I was drunk.

      Greatest name in music history.

      Good guitarist aswell, seemed to be the main brain behind the music.

    You've been banging on about this band for ages and I never really liked what I heard. Then I saw them at Reading and they were great.

    And I've still never seen them.

    What's the best record of their's to buy? Or is there only the one?

      Just the one album, which I might now have to buy.

      The story's on the NME now. Chris Chinchilla's website is http://www.chinchilla-music.co.uk.

          Thank God the drummer didn't leave, more drummers should stand up when they play...

          i didn't think dis would WANT to run the story. obviously i was wrong.

          they can stop using that pic of chris on the floor at the marquee now.

          oh, like the one in the story.

        Ah right.

        I seemed to have heard about them for a long time so when I could only find one album from very recently in the shop I didn't want to get it in case it wasn't the best one! :-D

        (Well I'd already loaded up with Dischord 20 and a Battles EP and was feeling like an extra expense was one too many.)

            i thought the album was quite good actually, i was never too keen on them then i borrowed the album from a fried and to my surprise i liked it.
            they were really good at leeds as well

        Get the singles. The b-sides are my favourite Brut songs :-)
