Leper Colony / Chrome

Sorry for the delay.... stuff...


Leper Colony hailed from the land of Lynchburg, VA.Home to Jerry Falwell and Liberty University. Some of the same people from Seven Hearts. We're friends with these guys because Jason and I come from an equally as degenerate locale and we've known eachother since before Leper Colony. Bands like The Rejected, The Seven Hearts, Escapeman, just to name three. The Members of this band are teaming up again with another Lynchburg native, (last seen in a really good band from the mid-nineties called Eustress Urchin) as I write this... I will most definately grace this blog with one of their new projects as soon I get a copy from them.

Those Lynchburg boys also turned me on to a really great band that I have since not been able to get tired of hearing. The Jesus Lizard gave me my first glimpse of them on a JL compilation called "BANG", the song was called "Chrome" and I didn't realize until later that they were covering two songs from the band CHROME's "Half Machine Lip Moves" LP This led me to more and more stuff by this band, and the more I heard the more I liked. I chose this track because when I first moved to Richmond, I was with Jason and we ran into Mike (from Lynchburg) and went back to Mike's house and he played an old "Target video" by Chrome and this was the song.

It's also on a Ralph Records compilation called "Subterranean Modern" with that one weird band
