"So goddamn cool and raucous and fun..."- Glide Magazine
Hailing from Rochester, NY, garage rock legends The Chesterfield Kings formed in the late 70’s, heavily mining the sounds of 1960s music from The Rolling Stones to acoustic blues and more. Instrumental in sparking the 1980s garage band revival that launched such like-minded bands as The Fuzztones, The Pandoras, The Cynics, and more, The Chesterfield Kings disbanded in 2009 but returned last month for the release of the single "Meet You After Midnight" and their first live performances in over 15 years.
The band has releasing another new single "Electrified" (co-written with Stevie Van Zandt) along with b-side "My Back Pages." The single will also available for purchase on limited yellow vinyl this Saturday, April 20 for Record Store Day at Rochester's The Record Archive and via mail order.
Frontman Andy Babiuk says: “Stevie wrote this one with us… It’s about the day Dylan went electric in 1965 at the Newport Folk Festival which changed music forever. He was Electrified!”
