Album Notes

Description:

Chiwawa is Laurie Gordon and Krassy Halatchev. The duo’s approach can be described as intelligent pop/rock with techno elements. The style is constantly evolving and always seductive. The heavy grooves and luscious melodies, topped by Laurie’s unforgettable, five octave range voice, define Chiwawa’s sound.
The band is getting rave reviews and their growing fanbase is selling out shows.
On stage, Chiwawa electrifies as a duo as well as a full band.

History:

Chiwawa has been around for about 8 years. Their debut album, “The Sick World Of Yona”, was released in 1998. It was produced by Steve Whitfield who has worked with artists like “The Cure” and “The Mission”.
The duo has recorded 3 full length albums since 1997. Their most recent CD is called Bright (available here). Chiwawa was also featured on a few compilation releases (CHOM's Esprit, Darkcell). The band has their own record label, Satellite Records Canada (SRC). They may well be the quintessential indie band/label!

REVIEWS

Awesome songs. Bright Does It For Me!
author: Alicia Rodriguez
I love this album! I really love the punkish pop ditty Do It For Me that has the coolest intro ever! Other songs on Bright take you from one happy mood to the other. Love's Got Heart is amazing with a great guitar hook and hooky chorus. A great upbeat album.

this Canadian band’s fine debut C.D. sneaks up on you sounding like triphop rock
author: Frank Ruscitti, The Village Voice
With a singer whose come-hither voice suggest the sexy, brainy type of woman who’d sleep with you but kill you afterwards, this Canadian band’s fine debut C.D. sneaks up on you sounding like triphop rock 10 years before its invention.

...great hooks fill the CD, and almost every song is a hit with me.
author: CDdebut.com
Chiwawa is a very solid and creative musical force. I think this is a CD that they can be very proud of, soothing melody and great hooks fill the CD, and almost every song is a hit with me. If you like Garbage, Depeche Mode, The Cure, Annie Lennox, Blondie, Radiohead and the Smashing Pumpkins, that's right, you will love this CD! (The Sick World Of Yona)

Hooky hooks, singalongable mood meisters - CHIWAWA rock.
author: Cindy Glover
Why aren't CHIWAWA a household name yet? Hooky hooks, singalongable mood meisters - CHIWAWA rock. Do It For Me is destined to be a neo punk classic...reminiscent of Niagara. Rumour has it, it's the song Ryan Larkin is making his new film to...Love's Got Heart echos of Motown. CHIWAWA is a really great band out of Montreal Canada. Dig'em. Support'em.
