Chevelle on Tour
Chevelle is the understated musical powerhouse who have continually delivered rock anthems for the past 24 years. 7 number one hits, 17 songs reaching the top 10 charts, over 4 million records sold in the USA and many more world wide. Platinum and gold albums across their 8 studio records and successful live CD and two live DVD releases completes their extensive body of work to date. It's all credit to their continuing dedication to be true to their craft, the genre and their fans. Chevelle's last two album releases, La Gargola and The North Corridor, both debuted #1 on the Billboard rock charts at #3 and #8, respectively, on the Billboard top 200 charts. With no signs of this Chicago alternative rock trio slowing down any time soon, their numerous chart topping releases have certainly earned this band a place in American rock music history.
After more than two decades together, numerous releases, and countless world wide tours, the outfit consisting of brothers Pete Loeffler [guitars, vocals], Sam Loeffler [drums], and brother in-law Dean Bernardini [bass, vocals] have confidently sailed through decades of uncharted waters and have emerged with a collection that's equally intricate and intimate.
Certainly it builds upon the group's impressive foundation, including the 2002 platinum-selling genre staple Wonder What's Next and the 2004 gold-selling follow-up This Type of Thinking Could Do Us In which debuted #8 on the Billboard Top 200. The releases that followed held their own against the ever-changing faces of popular music for the time. 2007's Vena Sera reached #2 for rock album on the Billboard charts. 2009's release Sci-Fi Crimes reached #6 on the Billboard Top 200 and #1 on the alternative charts. 2011's Hats Off to The Bull reached #5 on the Billboard Top 200, 2014's La Gargola debuted #3 on the Billboard Top 200. Most recently, 2016's The North Corridor album debuted #8 and soon reached #2 on the Billboard Top 200. La Gargola and The North Corridor both debuted #1 on the Billboard rock charts with The North Corridor vinyl release reaching #7 on the Billboard top 25 Vinyl charts. Chevelle released a B-sides and rarities collection titled 12 Bloody Spies in October 2018 while they wrote and recorded their much anticipated 9th studio album. This next album release, set for 2020 will be sure to add another chapter to the extensive catalog of this successful music career.
"You don't want to repeat yourself," affirms Sam. "We want to seize something different with each song. Every record has to take on its own identity. As an artist, you have to progress and evolve." As they continue to master their craft, Chevelle take on the critics and prove time and time again that they a force to be reckoned with.
I've seen Chevelle at least 15 times over the last 6 years and I must say they just keep getting better and better. Besides that, I've been to the Venue about 5 times since its opening, and the venue is amazing. Its actually my favorite venue now out of all of the Chicago area venues.
I went to the show wanting to see the opening act of Blue October. I was familiar with chevelle but I had still expected a good show. Blue october was awesome, lighting movement and tracklist all hit a good note with me. once that was over chevelle came on and pumped out song after song that all sounded the same, as all the band members stood in one place and attempted to stationarily rock me, which didnt work....I had expected more from them. Worst thing ever is to get shown up by your opener
It's amazing to note that there are only three guys in this band. Their sound is so full. Their music takes you on a wild ride with many twists and turns and layers upon layers. I've seen them before on a smaller stage and wasn't sure how they would stack up at the Venue. I was not disappointed. The Venue is a great place to see a band. My only complaint was that the first two rows of seating were left intentionally open due to the visibility factor (if you sat there, you couldn't see the stage because of the standing room section being right in front of you). We were in seats right after this section. This left the two front row seats open for anyone who felt like taking a break from standing to have a conversation with friends or people who were too drunk to stand period. I found this distracting.
Went to see Blue October, Chevelle was new to me but was a great act and would enjoy more of their music!!
