- official website
- The Revelons played the New York music scene (CBGB, Max’s Kansas City, Mudd Club, Hurrah’s, Peppermint Lounge, Danceteria, Rock Lounge, etc.) from 1978 to 1983. They often served as the house band at CBGB, filling in when scheduled bands cancelled.
The original band included Gregory Lee Pickard (lyrics, vocals and acoustic guitar), Jimmy Wynbrandt (from the Miamis) on lead guitar, Dana Duquet on drums, and Nels Pierce on bass. Subsequent members included bassist Fred Smith (Television), drummer Jay Dee Daugherty (The Patti Smith Group), and guitarist Mark Suall (Alda-Reserve, Hillbilly Peckers, Deni Bonet, Andre Williams), with additional contributions from keyboardist Greg Husted (Willie Nile, The Beat), keyboardist C.P. Roth (Blessed Union of Souls), guitarist Adam Roth (The Jaded Six), guitarist Mark Silvert (Neo, Mellowroll), legendary guitarist Jimmy Acardi (Laughing Dogs, The Eddie Dixon Band), bassist Andy Shernoff (the Dictators), drummer Gordon Knox, guitarist Patrick Barnes (Dirty Looks), drummer Steven Bray (Madonna) and often The Uptown Horns.
The band disbanded in 1983, after one final show at The Bottom Line in New York City. Then, in 2002, Gregory Lee Pickard, Fred Smith, and Mark Suall reunited to produce the compilation CD: Anthology. The trio pieced together original releases, 8-track rehearsals, cassette recordings from live shows, old demo reels, and two-inch tapes from studio endeavors. Anthology was released to critical acclaim in 2002. (Reviews)
In 2003, Pickard, Suall, and Smith again teamed up to begin production on their latest album: "Pop-Ism" Keyboardist Tommy Mandel (David Johansen, Bryan Adams, Violent Femmes, Dire Straits), and drummers Tony Corsano (Valentine 6, Sulfur), Jay Dee Daugherty, and David Purcell also contributed to this album.
Two songs from "Pop-Ism" were debuted at CBGBs in October of 2006 at a Revelons reunion performance,one week before the club closed.
- Chicken Snake
- myspace
- Chicken Snake was founded in the Spring of 2009 by legendary musician, producer, engineer Jerry Teel ( Honeymoon Killers, Boss Hog, The Chrome Cranks, Knoxville Girls, Little Porkchop, Jerry Teel & The Big City Stompers ) and his equally talented song writing partner/Wife Pauline Owens- Teel ( Jerry Teel & The Big City Stompers ). Upon emerging from the banks of the muddy Mississippi, The Teels returned to NYC with many tales to tell. Each song reflects a page in their history. Stories of true life, love, heartache, murder, and poison.
The Teels have joined forces with Mr. Josh Lee Hooker ( Headless Hookers ), Mr. Jack Martin ( Knoxville Girls, Little Porkchop, Pink Moneybirds, Dimestore Dance Band, Cause For Applause ), Nicholas Ray ( 68 Comeback, VivaL'AmericanDeathRayMusic, April March, Hundred Eyes, Limes, Golden Triangle )and Danny Hole (Smallstone,Warlocks,Nikki Sudden, Kid Congo & the Pink Monkeybirds,Silver Rockets ) to record their debut record with deep winding roots in the South, ragged branches in the NYC gutters, firmly planted in the blues, and the filthy, tainted soul of whisky and sin.
