Album Notes

Alistair Christl and the Swingin’ Chandeliers is a powerhouse roots/country/rockabilly trio the likes of which you ain’t ever seen. Fingerpicking Chet Atkins style licks on a ’63 Gibson Hollowbody and cranking out 50’s hillbilly inspired vocals, Alistair’s music is a lightning-paced salute to all things vigorous, genuine, and sporadically disastrous in music. If you dislike 99% of music heard on the radio today, you might just like this. With Rachel Melas (Bass) and Conny Nowe (drums) of much-admired Cajun act, Swamparella, Alistair Christl and the Swingin’ Chandeliers are not to be missed.

Unmarked Grave is an up-tempo 11 track debut CD by Alistair Christl. Folk, punk, and rockabilly in inspiration and delivery, Unmarked Grave brings the band together with some of Toronto’s best musicians and producers to deliver one hip-shakin’ disk. 8 Originals, a Hank Williams and Chuck Berry cover, and even a traditional arrangement, you’re gonna love this peep into the past.

Bitchin' alright Dave!

From the rollicking Unmarked Grave, through the haunting Ramblin' Man,the punch of Maybelline,to the sad finale,with plenty of twang in between, this is an outstanding album. Is it off key, off beat, off colour or just a dash of musical brilliance. The latter I suspect. My sister has insisted I buy her an original copy as the sleeve artwork is every bit as good as the album. Someone please send us a few tickets to Canada.

Alistair Christl brings old school rockabilly greatness to the new school of young, hip, ultra-cool rock n' rollers. This CD is a MUST for anyone who digs Rock N' Roll, Alt.Country, Punk, Rockabilly, Psychobilly, Folks, Roots.
