The Chap are an English experimental pop band from North London. Their music is a mix of electronica, rock, Krautrock and pop. [1]
In early 2006, they toured Europe to support their second album Ham which gained much critical acclaim including an album of the month notice in The Wire . On 19 April 2008 (26 April in the UK), they released a third album, Mega Breakfast. [1] During 2008 and 2009, the band completed several UK and mainland European tours as well as their first US tour. [2]
In May 2010, they released Well Done Europe, which received a rating of 7.7 from Pitchfork Media and in March 2012, they released We Are Nobody, which received a rating of 7.0.
The Chap's motto is: "Total administration corresponds to that historical moment when technical rationalization and instrumentality, in the service of capital, spreads beyond subject-external social and political relations to penetrate and determine, at a fundamental level, individual psycho-interiority." [3] [4]
Berit Immig and Johannes von Weizsäcker first met when playing in the band Karamasov (Satellite Records). [1]
