STREET VENGEANCE

THE STORY

A 4-piece punk grunge group constructed by the legendary Chipwreck. In 2018, I happened to live a block down the street from him in South Philly. Then he asked a random guy at the Chinese restaurant if he knew a bass player (which he did). Before I knew it, I was in a new band. Blasted into notoriety at 19, Chip started playing guitar in the first all-black punk rock band, Pure Hell, in 1974. There he went on to play alongside and get to know the New York Dolls, the Dead Boys, Phil Lynott of Thin Lizzy, and even Sid Vicious himself. His caricature is even featured in the Netflix animated film “Wendell & Wylde." Today, we play some of his later repertoire, including a song written with Wayne Kramer of the MC5. In the past, we’ve opened for Joe Genaro of the Dead Milkmen and Walter Lure of Johnny Thunders and the Heartbreakers. Find us throughout Philly and NYC!
