Welcome
to The Chop Tops Official Web Site!!
Their
Story-
Sinner began The Chop Tops back in 1995, he had tried a range
of other musical styles, only to return to what came naturally to him...rockabilly
music! Sinner had played guitar, bass, and piano while performing as
lead vocalist for his group. But it wasn't until he went back to his
child-hood favorite the drums (standing no less) that he had found his
true call, still soulfully covering his ground as lead vocalist. Sinner
next teamed up with grestch guitar extraordinaire Shelby after
seeing one of his blistering guitar performances. Shelby shared Sinner's
passion for a frantic rock'n'roll beat and was quickly welcomed as the
bands guitarist. Last, but not least, came the search for an upright
bassist that would glue The Chop Tops stompin' vocalist/drummer and
live-wire guitar slinger together into one red-hot rockin' act. And
their prayers were answered when Brett joined adding the finishing
touch to the 'revved-up' rockabilly trio - The Chop Tops. Brett had
perfected his wild stage shows while performing upright slap bass with
tons of LA groups! A few years later, the band really began to make
a name for themselves playing supporting sets for legends, but with
all the showmanship and excitement of the evenings headliner! The Chop
Tops have toured their 'Revved-Up' breed of rockabilly
music through the entire United States.
Their
Sound-
As a band, The Chop Tops thrive on an up beat rockabilly sound; they've
coined the phrase "Revved-Up Rockabilly" to describe their
unique blend of rebel music genres. Their material spans from rockabilly,
teddy boy, psychobilly, (western) surf, to old school punk all played
with their own edge! Over the years they have annihilated the lines
between these music genres by not just introducing their fans to Chop
Top style arrangements of multi genre covers, but also by sharing the
stage with the biggest names in the rockabilly, teddy boy, psychobilly,
surf, & punk scenes. This three piece combo is like none before it's
time, delivering scorching sets of original, high-octane roots rock'n'roll,
while bringing alive the sounds of yesteryears highway honky-tonks,
backyard blues bands, & hardcore punk halls with their own powerful
punch! You can currently find The Chop Tops anywhere from a smokey blues
bar, to an all ages punk show! The Chop Tops would like YOU to know…
They
don't play music to LOOK cool (that's easy) they play music that IS
cool! But don't trust me get in your ride, step on the gas, and race
down to see 'em play...you'll be glad you did!!!
