Chase Long Beach

Chase Long Beach, a Long Beach, California, ska-punk band, was formed in 2002 with Karen Roberts on vocals, Patt Fitzgerald on bass, and Ryan Sandoval on guitar. The band went through several members and played constant local shows in bars and clubs, but didn't achieve much commercial success. Eventually the band reformed itself in order to take a more serious direction, picking up Dustin Feldt and Ryan "Grandpa" Humphrey on trombone, Jimmy Finch on keyboards, Tristan Dolce on trumpet, Russell Feldt on lead guitar, and Jarod Freeman on drums.

Not Cool

Not Cool were born in the winter of 2008, semi-fresh from the sweet iceberg that was Lost Penguin. Incorporating 2/3's of the musical talent of the imPoverished area of London called Downham, these young wanderers count severely divided genres as their influences. Experimental grunge punk-pop samba marmite is what an idiot might call them.
