Chester Vomit And The Dry Heaves

Chester Vomit And The Dry Heaves

Chester Vomit And The Dry Heaves has been played on NTS in shows including The Reign Set , featured first on 22 July 2018. Songs played include Duo-Sonic Blues.

Chester Voumette (accent on the first syllable) was best known as a drummer and backing vocalist under a number of monikers for numerous Chicago bands from 1978 to 1981, including one of the city's earliest working punk bands, Popperz, The Martian Plan, pop synth groundbreakers Fame, and popular new wave band Gary Jones.

With these acts, Chester headlined most of Chicago's punk and new wave clubs as well as large venues, played recording sessions, live TV and radio programs, and shared billings with such diverse national acts as Iggy Pop and The 1910 Fruitgum Company.

In January 1978, Chester armed himself with a Fender Duo Sonic II guitar and wraparound sunglasses, took front mic, and spit up songs that would eventually appear on the "Stunk Rocker" ep. What they lacked in production quality, they made up for in volume and intensity. With Chester's busy drumming schedule, public performances of Chester Vomit and The Dry Heaves were limited, but legendary. Hurling lyrics through his trademark sneer, a clothespin affixed to his cheek (Chester's aversion to needles ruled out body piercing), his guitar slung low between his legs, Chester retched out nonstop breakneck rockers. When fans and the media asked what he called his brand of music, the label-hating Chester's standard replay was, "We Play Stunk Rock"
