Chinaski

1 fan
Post-Grunge auteur act Chinaski carries Alt Rock right up to the edge with its distinctive combination of the driving rhythms and guitar barrage of early 90's with a songwriting style that falls just left of the mainstream. Intelligent lyricism, no-frills musicality, and a straight shot directly into the listener -- it’s a power punch to the innards driven by both brains and brawn. Chinaski has a simple approach to Rock: that rock itself shouldn't be so simple, and audiences all over are raving about their lean, mean, smart, and stripped-down style.

CHINASKI is a literary character created by Charles Bukowski. He valued alcohol and the madmen and women of the world. He lived to create and illuminate the underbelly of Los Angeles. Disgusted with the mundane and conventional people surrounding him, he left his readers with a cleansing honesty. That honesty is reflected in the music of this band.
