PETER AARON OF THE CHROME CRANKS CELEBRATES CINCINNATI’S ’UNDERGROUND SOUNDS’

Peter Aaron moved to Cincinnati (aka ‘the Queen City,’ ‘Cinci-tucky’) from New Jersey as a teenager and quickly found kindred punk-rock spirits. In 1988, he revved up a band called the Chrome Cranks which cut its collective teeth in Cincy, then moved to NYC, where six years of gigging and four albums established them as part of influential noise-garage contingent with Pussy Galore, the Cheater Slicks, and the Honeymoon Killers. Aaron pays tributes to his ‘roots’ with a new compilation We Were Living in Cincinnati: Punk and Underground Sounds from Ohio’s Queen City (1975-1982 ). He spoke with PKM’s Eric Davidson about a surprisingly vibrant music scene in Ohio’s oft-maligned southern city.

ça faisait un moment que je n’avais pas entendu un son de basse pareil. Le #bassiste c’est Jerry Teel et le gars est prolifique.

CHICKEN SNAKE a été fondé en 2009 par Jerry Teel (Honeymoon Killers, Boss Hog, Chrome Cranks, Knoxville Girls, Jerry Teel & The Big City Stompers) et sa femme et partenaire de composition, Pauline Teel (Jerry Teel & The Big City Stompers). Le groupe a accueilli de nombreux musiciens en cours de route, car les Teel se sont promenés dans les grandes villes et ont pataugé dans les marais de l’arrière-pays, tout en souhaitant revenir à la Nouvelle-Orléans après l’ouragan Katrina.

Un autre son de basse bien en avant, les guitares n’ont plus qu’à mouliner derrière.
