Description

Chasen Project originally started in early 1986 as the band Chasen when Vocalist/Guitarist Mark Chasen and Lead Guitarist Jimmy Maropoulos decided to start a new project after both had spent time in the popular Philly/South Jersey band Whitefoxx. Chasen, a founding member of Whitefoxx, decided to form a writing team with Maropoulos. Chasen and Maropoulos had always worked very well together. Jeff LaBar had originally recommended Maropoulos to Whitefoxx after LaBar left Whitefoxx to join Cinderella. The band started out as Chasen but had to ad Project to their name because their already were a Christian rock group named Chasen signed to a record label. Mark Chasen studied Classical and Opera voice during his career and the band headlined shows in Philly and South Jersey before heading to Los Angeles to get more attention and to secure a record deal. After doing shows at Gazzari’s night club on Sunset Strip, The Troubadour in West Hollywood, Madame Wongs in LA and the famous Roxy Theatre they ran into legendary producer Kim Fowley (The Runaways). Fowley took an interest in the band and they spent months with Fowley in rehearsals and in Paramount Recording studios in Hollywood cutting a 3 song demo. Another 2-track demo would be recorded later with producer Neil Citron (all 5 songs can be found on this album) along with another 5 powerful songs. Mark Chasen went on to join a band called Audio Mob in 1991 then in 2006 he was in a band called Motornature, that cut 3 songs in a recording studio in New Jersey. Those Motornature tracks has been added as bonus on this album.
