Chariot have registered with a website called Rock Star Lottery (it's like the X Factor of rock much better and not fixed) that could be massive in terms of money and publicity for the band. 

The prize is a £1.5 million pound budget to record and release an album, also spend 10 weeks to record the said album in a state of the art studio.  The band will have the chance of being invited to a internet festival titled Revolution 96 in October for this you don't have to win but votes will help to ensure we can be placed on the bill.

So please this so important and would mean so much for the band if we could win it, with the help from YOU THE FANS we can make this possible.

Thank you for all your continued help and support.

Tickets are priced at £8.00, the support band will be Messiah and Chariot are due to be onstage around 10.30pm with band to be offstage no later than 12.00pm.

If any Chariot fans have any have concert dates they can add or flyers and tickets they could scan in and send me for the archive dates section of the site that would be great and much appreciated.

Kind regards.

On a more better note there could be a video of "Behind The Wire" more on this as it develops.

I have had a few emails about the Early Days, Late Nights release, the CD in question is only available to buy via mail order or at Chariot gigs as a limited run of 100. It has also been pointed out to me that a CD titled "Everything's Alive, Everything's Breathing Nothing" is not a Chariot release but a CD release from a Seattle based band titled The Chariot.

Cheers.

See you there.

Chariot are due to release a new album entitled Behind The Wire at the moment details are a bit sketchy for a release date but the  beginning of 2005 is a more likely out come.

Allen

To judge this for yourself I have placed a track off the demo entitled Behind The Wire in the download section this will be available to download from the 30th May onwards.

Enjoy.

I suppose you're all wondering how, what, why, when!!!!

Well it all came about when I was going to do a solo album,

Out of the blue I got a call from Steve Price, he'd had an approach from Majestic Records, who asked if we would be interested in releasing the 2 Chariot albums with the live gig from the Marquee put on to DVD.  Why the hell not.

So now we have a great new website and a new Chariot album on the way!

We also have a new guitarist called Paul Lane who used to play in Jeff's other bands.  We have no idea where Scott is, he's probably sunning himself in some foreign land somewhere.  Things are great with Paul on guitar, he is very talented.

So that's the story so far we will be doing a show soon at The Underworld, so look out for us in the press for that and on the website.  We will be getting pissed with Dave Ling on tour again next...   that will be the icing on the cake.

Cheers Pete.

The re-issues of their 1984 album (Warrior) and 1986 album (Burning Ambition) by  Majestic Rock and the release of the DVD "Sweating Blood -  Live At The Marquee" (this was the last  ever live recording/video to be shot at the Marquee in Wardour Street, London, prior to its closure) have been a major success for seminal London rockers CHARIOT.

Chariot main man, PETE FRANKLIN in the meantime had been in the studios putting together a solo release. He called in ex-Chariot members JOHN SMITH (Bass) and JEFF BRAITHWAITE (Drums) to assist and obtained the services of Guitar 'Virtuoso' PAUL LANE. So successful has been this working partnership that it has been decided that CHARIOT should reform with Paul Lane replacing Scott Biaggi.

The band will be managed by Franklin & Z-Roxx Management (under Steve Price who, ironically, used to be their tour manager/lighting tech in the 80s) and have already had a number of offers from labels attempting to sign the band.

CHARIOT are currently in the studios completing their comeback album, 5 tracks have been completed, and it's hoped that the album will be out in the Autumn/Fall 2004. Tour dates will follow and will be preceded by a one-off  London show in the Summer.

Chariot have had their first two albums Warrior and Burning Ambition released through the Majestic Rock Label.  In addition the Live At The Marquee video is now available for the first time on DVD also through Majestic Rock. 

The albums together with the live DVD are currently now available from www.z-roxx.com.

Chariot are looking forward to the future, this is not just an excuse for playing old material at gigs this is a band are back with avengence and with a possible new album on the horizon WATCH OUT.  

So dig out your toothbrushes "THE TOOTHBRUSH CLAN ARE BACK".
