The Chain Gang of 1974 – Undercover

I went to see Tapes ‘n Tapes late last week in Denver. Well, actually, I went to see The Chain Gang of 1974 who was opening for Tapes ‘n Tapes. My intuition was right (though the headliner was good as well). I really liked what I heard from Kamtin Mohager’s musical vehicle, The Chain Gang of 1974, in limited exposure and that in turn was enough for me to take the opportunity to catch him in his former hometown. So I did.

Mohager left Denver after a breakup and he landed in LA. He used the personal situation as a source for much of his new album, Wayward Fire. In addition to the personal influences, the dance rock he makes is heavy on synths and on 80′s influences.

The show itself was awesome. I had a good time and the new material played really well live.

Here’s Undercover. Check out the whole album at iTunes. Enjoy!
