It all started in a little town called Wichita, Kansas. In that town lived three rock musicians who couldn't stop dreaming of constant 70 degree weather, earthquakes and girls without tan lines. So... Ryan, Lucas, and Cameron moved to North Hollywood, California. While they were there, they went to school at Los Angeles Recording Workshop (LARW) to learn more about producing there own music. It just so happened, that through a mutual friend, the Kansas trio met a lyricist from New York selling his solo album out the back of his station wagon. His name was MBA (Many Blessings from Allah). Meanwhile, South Bay native and full time MC, Drew Alvarado, was also attending school at LARW. Late one evening he tried to rob the three musicians in the parking lot after class. After realizing they had no money, he let them go. However, after stealing their CD collection he was very impressed by their selection. He apologized the next day and they all became friends soon after, although Drew never returned the CDs. At that same time, two guys from Maine were traveling across the United States to join forces with a band they had no idea existed. B-nut, a turntablist from the Pine Tree State of Maine says, "I saw them in my dreams...naked." Strangely enough, though raised in the same town, bassist Dave Keyes and DJ B-nut never crossed paths until arriving in California and becoming roommates. For the past two years the seven of us have been packing venues, throwing parties and most importantly... perfecting the beat. In a recent interview, Chakra's lead singer Lucas remarked, "Listening to our album is like having all your favorite music on one CD." Then Dave laughed and called him a fag. But in all seriousness our music speaks for itself, either you get it or you don't, and for those of you who don't, well... your girlfriend will. Much love to our fans and welcome to our new friends. Thanks for your support and we'll see you at the top.
