Aussies The Chevelles w/20th Anniv. Tour

"It's the Who meets the Ramones meets the Easybeats meets Beach Blanket Bingo! It's the criminals Australia wants to ship back to England and call it even! It's the High Priests of the Barbarella Girl God Love Cult!  It's The Chevelles! - Little Steven Van Zandt

The Chevelles, whose track "Get It On" was featured in "Rock Band 2," announce their 20th Anniversary World Tour in support of their first Wicked Cool Records release: Barbarella Girl God: Introducing The Chevelles.

The Chevelles have played over 1000 live shows since four long-haired West Australian kids crawled out of the surf in 1990, determined to share their version of revivalist 60's psychedelia and post punk garage rock and roll.  Since that time, the band has cemented their reputation as Australian Cult Garage Power Pop Legends by touring rooms and festival of all sizes in their native Australia, the U.S., Brazil, and Europe

During 2008, The Chevelles threw their catalog in the 350 Chevy and sped to New York where Little Steven signed the band to a worldwide deal, included the band's entire catalog and publishing.  The deal has culminated in the release of Barbarella Girl God - Introducing the Chevelles" It features Little Steven's Chevelles favorites, including many cuts heard for years on the Underground Garage radio show.  The band's catalog was released digitally (including their most recent album "Accelerator"), yet "Barbarella Girl God" pulls from multiple sources and is the perfect rromo for the 20th Anniversary Tour.

The Chevelles are also firing up the Chevy for the prestigious Australian "Big Day Out" festival. Likewise, with the help and organization of the Australian government, they are touring extensively on the heels of other success stories, like their single "Get Back To New York City," which was broadcast on Fox during the MLB World Series.
