Heard this band on radio last Saturday night, awesome hard power pop (emphasis on power), 12 string prominent in the mix, played very overdriven. Ordered the CD (mail order only), hopefully will be able to assert whether it's a ric or not. I'm assuming it is. I miss this kind of music, so when a band puts it out, I buy!

Well, it probably is. If you go to their website http://www.chesterfieldkings.com/ you'll see what's perhaps a 1997 on the Discography page http://home.att.net/~c.kings/ckingsdiscogrophy.html; on Andy Babiuk's page http://home.att.net/~c.kings/andy.html there's what appears to be a 360, maybe a 12; and on Paul Morabito's page http://home.att.net/~c.kings/paul.html note his hobbies!

Dave,
Thanks. Lots o'rics in the pics. I just heard of 'em last week, though the dj (Little Steven) mentioned they'd been around a long time. You obviously heard of 'em before.

I first heard them quite a while ago, but I've never seen them.

I've got one of their LPs. Talked with Andy at Beatlefest last month. He signed a copy of his book.

I first heard them in the mid 80's. Didn't realize they were still at it.
