Through the psychedelic haze of warehouse jammage in a location dubbed "The jamspot" spawned the group The Chops. Led by Seth Gomez, the band is comprised of keys, guitar, drums and bass. The Chops harness the sound of new and mix with the sounds of old. Being compared to bands such as Cream, The Doors, The Yardbirds, and The Beach Boys. Each member writes songs and presents their own sound while melting as a whole. The Chops take inspiration from all realms of music. From Hot jazz to modern pop, The Chops make it their own. The sound is dynamic but holds true to the sounds of psychedelic pop. When all the engines are steaming, the band is able to turn a 5 minute song into a 20+ minute journey of improv. In The Chops no one member is more important than the other, this is most apparent when the band is improvising. The crowd is also a huge part of the bands experience. With a tight nit family, The Chops are able to provide an energy that is exclusive. A welcoming environment and a night of dancing is what you can expect.
The Chops are on the rise with a catalog of originals and will be playing in Boston regularly. We never shy away from sharing the stage with other musicians as well such as Banjo, Saw, Trumpet, Sax, Fiddle, Drummers, Guitarist, vocalist and more.
