Chixdiggit! Album cover has a 450!

[raygunpyle]

I'm new to this forum and way into every kind of Punk Rock subgenre. Although I pretty much love all music (music where instruments are actually played, so maybe I am picky). The Chixdiggit! album cover for "From Scene To Shining Scene" has the guitarist with his heavily stickered 450. It looks like a vintage, although I know these were discontinued in the 80s. I'm not sure how many punk artist are on this forum, but now there are at least one

If you feel like listening to some Pop Punk from Canada with a RIC, look these guys up!

Not so much,but I managed my college radio station from 1996-1997, so I definitely remember them. A band that started out as a T-shirt! How cool is that?

I was a summer/winter radio DJ at a local college here when they were on their break. It was the only station around that had a Punk Rock session. I really enjoyed being a college DJ. I was from 2008-2010. I never knew Chixdiggit! was a shirt that first. That's awesome!

Yep, they made the T-shirts and wore them around their high school, so the story goes. Everyone thought it was cool or hilarious, and enough people suggested they start a band based on it so they did.

Cool 450...love 'em! I'm guessing a late '65 -'68 based on the TRC and longer tailpiece. Funny, I "came of age" in Canada in the '90s and never heard of these guys (but their taste in guitars is impeccable all the same ). I'm a little too old for punk now but the 450/460 models are also really well suited for alt rock, post-punk, etc. IMHO.

I think they're from Calgary. Canada is huge so it's not uncommon to not have heard of them. Cool info on the actual guitar! Feel young again and check em out!
