Artist History Chas is primarily a bass player, but he wanted to show what he could do on drums, keyboards, and lead guitar. He states: There was never any reason to develop to the virtuoso caliber of musicianship with a particular instrument, when it is the songs themselves, the textures leaving the sonic impression in the psyche. The Beatles were miraculously successful, and they wrote simple songs, that still stand up today.

Group Members Chas Kimmel wrote, performed, engineered and produced this whole work himself. His friend Timm Gaughan added some drum finesse on a few tracks.

Instruments Roland Synthesizers, Akai Samplers, Steinberger Bass, Fender Stratocaster Guitar, and Alesis Drum Module with Simmons Trigger Pads.

Albums Debut album - Bee

Additional Info I thought of the name BEE after a colony of bees took up residence in the wall of my studio I made from a converted garage.

Location Wichita, Kansas - USA
