Chili Cold Blood Biography
Press: Chili Cold Blood Chili Cold Blood Photo by Aubrey Edwards "When Ethan Shaw starts rocking the pedal steel, wailing away from beneath his cowboy hat, your shit-eating grin goes ear to ear. Together with guitarist Doug Strahan, who roars into a super-affected mic, and beat-keeper Matt “Bagpiper” Puryear, Shaw & Co. ply the gutbucket blues of Chili Cold Blood." Jesus' Comin' ... I'm the Fuck You Up Man (Bloodchili) REVIEWED BY MARTIN DE LEON II, FRI., JUNE 17, 2005 Chili Cold Blood Jesus' Comin' ... I'm the Fuck You Up Man (Bloodchili) "Chili Cold Blood is like John Lee Hooker and Black Sabbath stuck in a local elevator. Three white dudes whose gothic blues wears its American macho costume loud and proud and is made up of steel guitar, drums, and electric guitar." Chili Cold Blood 2009 (Bloodchili) For locals having made their rep as a power trio dubbed "black and blues," CCB's nailed it on yet another self-titled, ZZ Top-meets-Soundgarden disc. Track upon track of low-down blues kick whip-smart guitar and an uncompromising backbeat ("Road Behind Me") that includes a bona fide treasure in singer/guitarist Doug Strahan's "Put It Down." Chili Cold Blood And Now the Dawn (Blood Chili Records) REVIEWED BY KEVIN CURTIN, FRI., SEPT. 27, 2013 Texas Platters Chili Cold Blood And Now the Dawn (Blood Chili Records) Dropping XXL riffs with enough roadhouse twang to put Tony Iommi into a cowboy hat and bolo tie, Chili Cold Blood dials its Texas doom boogie to Seventies metal in a Southern Gothic style on album No. 7. Pedal steel delinquent Ethan Shaw and axeman Doug Strahan, both respectable pickers with a penchant for overdrive, lay down Goliath pentatonic melodies that stretch and snap like rubber bands, great when railing in unison behind groove drummer Matt Puryear and better when they trade blows like in the lantern-lit "Graveyard" jam. Shaw's deep, demon-summoning moan stands out on patient tracks like "Past Savior," while Strahan's high, coarse, cocaine wail adds aggression to rippers like "In the Neon." Lyrically, CCB remains generally fatalistic, covering unspecified aspects of death, suicide, battle, and doomsday, yet they articulate such matters with impressive eloquence. And Now the Dawn lacks diversity, which limits its appeal, but if you like dark tones, stoner metal riffs, and Southern rock touches, you'll raise a fist. *** Gutbucket blues and rock 'n roll.
