Chicks - Let Me Go
This is one of those songs that I get a massive urge to hear every now and then.
Chicks were a young, three-piece, comic obsessed pop-punk band that looked like they were going to make it big 10 years ago but then disappeared, which is a shame. They only ever released two EPs, and I proudly own both of them.
One of the best compliments I can give them is that Sonic Youth asked them to tour with them. This article is really all I would be able to write about them, other than I saw them play this song live on Jo Whiley’s TV show back in 1998 and fell in love with it and them straight away. I remember Huey from the Fun Lovin’ Criminals was a studio guest on the same show and I’m pretty sure I still have the show recorded on VHS somewhere.
I’ve been searching for the performance on YouTube for years, but it’s not there. One of the few times the Internet has ever failed me.
