CHANT, DJ Hans 242

CHANT, the tribal-infused apocalyptic drum project of Bradley Bills from Austin, TX, has spent the last 8 years solidifying its mark in the Industrial Rock world with a constant tour schedule supporting Lords of Acid, Angelspit, and My Life With the Thrill Kill Kult, contributing drumming duties for Pigface, Evil Mothers, and Jurgen Engler (Die Krupps), and kicking off 2013 as openers for KMFDM's 22 date U.S. tour this past spring.

CHANT's live performances display a chaotic presentation of mayhem and rock and roll. With passionate music and lyrics channeling internal rage and raw emotion, dark hook-laden synth lines, and primal chest pounding drumming that slam audiences into elation – each show brings new fans and rave reviews, with ReGen Music Magazine declaring CHANT "a blistering stage performance that simply should not be missed!"

Bradley's unique, custom drum set ups are a nod to experimental innovators Einstuerzende Neubauten – with metal cans, buckets, and satellite dishes featured in the arsenal, while his subversive DYI style of art and mixed media continues to provoke thought and turns heads. CHANT's controversial music video NEED triggering censorship by Youtube.com and other media outlets this summer.

Since inception, Bradley has worked with members of The Butthole Surfers, Skrew, Pigface, and The Razorblade Dolls to record and co-produce CHANT's two independently released albums: That Which Divides (2007) and Strong Words For Strong People (2010), squeezing in time to act as a featured guest lecturer for The Austin Music Foundation on independent artist booking, marketing, and touring strategies (2009/2011).

Releasing new music throughout the year and invited back on tour, CHANT is preparing a new onslaught of apocalyptic shows, supporting KMFDM on their 2015 North American tour this fall! Today is the day.
