Welcome to the 9 Lives of Peter Criss

taken from Pete's bio page at KISSfaq and our homepage

Chelsea was an eclectic folk-tinged band very representative of the era in which they existed. Flower, without the power. Michael Benvenga (Bass/Vocals), Chris Aridas (Guitar), Mike Brand (Guitar), and Peter Shepley (Vocals), the combo had problems balancing the folk and electric aspects of their sound usually resulting in an eclectic sound and numerous fights between the members. In some ways Chelsea was sometimes a band that seemed more interested in having extended folkey jam sessions that could disappear off on eternal tangents rather than suffer the 'constraints' of a strict structure, namely songs with fixed length and lyrics!
