THE CHILLS IN MODERN LITERATURE


We were thrilled to be informed recently, by former Chill Steven Schayer, that The Chills have made it into modern literature in the form of a  mention in the book "It feels so good when I stop" the latest by Joe Pernice of the wonderful group, The Pernice Brothers.
We understand there is a CD to accompany the book too - very nice.

Steven says of the book that... "there's a part where the main guy gets in a car with this girl and she's playing 'Rolling Moon' on the car stereo. He says, "Oh, fantastic choice; I love The Chills!"
She says she loves them too but asks if she can turn it off because it can be a little depressing".

Wonderful!
So - thank you Mr Pernice (and please also continue making that mighty fine music!)

And everyone else; let us know if you discover any other Chills references in books, songs and movies etc - and, yes, we know about 'Pink Frost' being featured in the movie 'Girl In The Park'.

Stay Chilled!

Check out the song 'Driving to the fire' by Mauro Pawlowski (now playing guitar in the Belgium band dEUS): 'Birds laugh shoes crack driving to the fire The Chills Pink Frost driving to the fire'. It's a very dark industrial song! It's on Black Europa (Mauro Pawlowski and The Grooms, 2004)

Erm, great but "Rolling Moon " is classic pop and not at all depressing !! Whereas certain rap and R n'B singers wail like a dying cat ! lol. Now THAT'S depressing !!
