02 / HISTORY

Fruit.
Tin.
Noise.

A naff band was formed in 90's Ipswich. The simple aim, to play a single gig for their mates at Premier Pool Club. Against the odds, it went OK.

Buckle, vocals. Makepeace, lead guitar. Sones, rhythm guitar. Willson, drums. Smith, bass.

The public DEMANDED another, so The Chunks responded. The fellas bodged their way through a second gig, this time with Llewellyn replacing Smith on Bass. Smith's real band were the headliners. But nobody remembers their names, and you're on a website about The Pineapple Chunks, so we win. And yeah, incredibly, The Chunks SOLD tshirts as merch. Fucking rock stars.

The original line-up recorded a few covers in a Felixstowe studio (For The Dead, Screamager, Should I Stay Or Should I Go). Later, Someday Tomorrow was recorded in Willson's back room. Makepeace on vocals and guitar. Willson on percussion. Sones on bass.

The original composition, Loaded was recorded in a portacabin at Adastral Park by the second band line-up. It was written by Makepeace.
