Cheer AccidentGenre: Progressive / Experimental / Indie
From: Chicago, Illinois United States
When I first came across Chicago's Cheer Accident (there are various, well ok two, theories about where the band's name come from which for those of you with a forensic mindset can be checked out here) I misread their name as Cher Accident which would have been an even better name than Cheer Accident! It intrigued me enough to check them out and I was surprised to find out that they've been around since 1981 and have released 16 albums, but interestingly only two singles.
They look like homeless serial killers (sorry guys) and their post rock sound is laced with enough eccentricity to have the worlds eminent psychiatrists scratching their heads and consulting their text books. But where a lot of experimental post rock bands come across as po-faced scientists conducting musical experiments Cheer Accident don't take themselves so seriously. Check out Head Works As An Inhibitor which sounds like Satchmo on a merry-go-round with a video to match and ponder whether fellow Chicagoan post rockers Tortoise or Brise-Glace would be so playful.
