You don't
get more decadent than the LA rock scene with it's flare for the
dramatic power chord and in some cases some serious eyeliner. For years
guitarist KELLY WHEELER has been entrenched in the scene starting out
in a band with PERRY FARRELL called PSI COM. When FARRELL moved onto
for JANES ADDICTION, WHEELER kept busy in the scene and eventually
founded his band SEXTAPES with lead singer CHRIS PITTMAN (who was also
a member of AXL ROSE's "GUNS & ROSES" during the the
release and the promotion of CHINESE DEMOCRACY.) With SEXTAPES on a bit
of hiatus WHEELER was on the verge of launching a new band
but finding the right frontman proved elusive. Sometimes it
takes a woman to do a man's job. Singer ERIKA RENEE auditioned for
WHEELER and the rest was history. Well not quite - but a new band nicked CHAINFLOWER has
been formed and their self-titled, two-song debut EP effin'
rocks. The band's SIOUXSIE AND THE BANSHEES meets LED ZEPPELIN approach
is evident. on the songs THE FEVER and DISSOLVE IN THE SKY
and ERIKA RENEE's growl sends the material soaring.
