Chad Carrier is well known in the Southern California punk rock / alternative music scene and has also garnered a nationwide fanbase over his career. In the late 80's, his band Easter's single "Lights Out" was a big hit on the Los Angeles radio station KROQ. Two of the band's videos got MTV airplay. He fronted SoCal's Big Mess for over a decade and for the past two years has been a touring member of the popular punk outfit Green Jelly.
Chad's solo shows are made up his cleverly written pop punk solo songs and music from the bands he was involved with throughout his career. A healthy dose of punk covers and alternative versions of classic rock hits are thrown in for good measure. On top of the solo shows, Chad also performs under the moniker Chad and the Ship of Fools where he is joined by notable special guests for his set.
