The Missing Chums excel at making fast-paced Indie Rock. Their debut LP, Out of the Gates, recorded at Mystery Street, is a quick moving collection of catchy hooks and gripping vocals. Matthew, Mike, and Matt joined host Jesse Menendez in studio to talk more about their music. They give a nice shout out to the studio and their engineer, Joe Tessone.

Hey, where did you come up with the name of the studio?
Well, while we were sitting there the night before we incorporated trying up come up with a good name, this song came on….
… and the rest is history!
The Missing Chums, one of Mystery Street’s regulars, just released a nice video of live performance, accompanied by their studio recording done here. Brief appearance by Mystery Street engineer Joe Tessone playing tambourine at one of their shows in Chicago.

Over the holidays, we remodeled rehearsal room A by taking down some of the wall coverings, refinishing the walls and floors, and changing the lighting a bit. I’m sure you will like it even more now. In the next month or so we will be remodeling the Rehearsal Rooms A’s bathroom, as well as experimenting with some new lighting ideas. Cosmic Rehearsals?? We shall see…
This song was recorded by Joe Tessone at Mystery Street in 2009. It is featured on the Missing Chums first album, Days Without Overcoats. The Missing Chums are currently working on their second album at Mystery Street. Expect it in early 2011!
