      A live CD/DVD package of the Chesterfield Kings was just released on Wicked Cool Records. I just got my copy, and it kicks ass!

      Yes, I know some of you hate Little Steven, and some of you probably think the Chesterfield Kings are a bunch of sellouts because they singed with his label. However, a great live performance is a great live performance, so I still think you should check it out.

      Ever seen their low-budget "movie," Where Is the Chesterfield King? Pretty funny stuff... too bad that's not available on DVD (or is it?). And agreed on the band. Great live. Saw them open for the New York Dolls a few years ago and I still say the Kings stole the show that night.

      Agreed. I've been fortunate enough to have seen this band evolve over 30 years (!) and they still sound great. The new disc includes a DVD and audio CD of their performance on the 'On Stage' show recorded at the PBS station here in Rochester. I just saw them live a few weeks ago and these cats have still got it. Greg's as crazy as ever, and Mike reminds me of Jerry Nolan the way he wails away on the skins...and that's a comparison I don't use lightly. Andy's as solid as ever, and Paul was wailing away all night. Plus Jeff O's back in the band as second guitar. I'm glad they're finally getting the attention they media attention the deserve.
