CMJ 2010 winners: Chappo – Live at Coco66 on 11.17

Chappo was featured by Apple in their iTouch ad before Brooklyn Vegan wrote anything about them (they still haven’t by the way, just the usual mention in their listings that everybody gets…) This is something the electronic giant deserves credit for, because Chappo not only has the ability to write (more than one) incredibly catchy indie pop gems, but has also a super-fun live show – frontman Alex is a true performer. Just to give you an idea of how much we enjoyed their packed show at Spike Hill, we’ll say that they looked and sounded a like a new, non acoustic version of Violent Femmes… You must not miss their show at Coco66 on 11.17. P.S. Now don’t get me wrong, I’m not a huge Apple fan, quite the opposite actually… I’ll never forgive them for being so successful and for murdering lala.com. – Read The Deli’s interview with Chappo from last spring here.
