ARTIST INFO-

CHROME INFO/BIO-

Before there was industrial, there was Chrome. Before there was goth, there was Chrome. Before there was noise rock, there was Chrome. Before there was death punk, there was Chrome.

Despite their groundbreaking work, the San Francisco band remains a cult fixation to this day, unknown by most and revered by a select few. Chrome’s unheralded work mixed punk with psych and prog, wiring all of that together with samples, tape loops, drum machines, and…a lot of LSD tabs. The result was a menacing and mysterious band who, while only ever playing two shows during their original run, released records that could be described as “HP Lovecraft does Bladerunner.”

The story of Chrome began with a tall, solemn American returning back to California after a stint in North Africa. At the time, he was called Thomas Wisse and he was a big fan of Stooges’ proto-punk and experimental acts like King Crimson. But after returning from his journey, he decided to rechristen himself as “Damon Edge” for a more interstellar aura. From the ashes of an avant-garde group called Ba Ka Da, he formed a band that fully embraced the sci-fi and darkness touched on by the contemporary English prog bands. After some trouble getting the concept off the ground, Edge linked up with fellow weirdo called “Helios Creed”—a six-foot-six, impossibly thin guitarist that loved to jam on the instrument incessantly. Once those two locked into a groove, Chrome took off into the stars…

AND THIS-

Chrome were one of the great bands from the San Francisco music scene of the late Seventies. Formed in 1975 by the enigmatic Damon Edge, they released their first LP ‘The Visitation’ before being joined by guitarist / vocalist Helios Creed. It was this collaboration that really focused the bands’ direction and their next two albums, ‘Alien Soundtracks’ and ‘Half Machine Lip Moves’ defined their musical approach and remain highly regarded to this day. Interest in the band grew steadily, resulting in their fourth LP ‘Red Exposure’ being released in the UK by Beggars Banquet. Unfortunately, at this point the band very rarely played live and it was quite possibly this lack of performance that held the band back from reaching a wider audience. Regardless, they released several more albums, including ‘Blood On The Moon’ and ‘Third From The Sun’, before Damon moved to France with his wife, effectively ending the classic Chrome line-up. He continued to release albums under the Chrome title, but opinions on the quality of this material are mixed. Helios Creed, meanwhile, continued to record and for the first time tour, under his own name.
