The new Mr. and Mrs. Connelly tied the knot on September 5 in Chicago. The ceremony was performed by Paul Elledge with family and close friends in attendance.
More photos will be posted shortly. In the meanwhile, visit Converse with Chris and leave the newlyweds your best wishes!
Why do so many people love Chris? Obviously it’s because of the beautiful music he makes. And to helps us march along this month (ha ha! get it? march along? and it’s March?) we’ve got more music for you.
First, be sure to pick up a copy of Chris’s latest collaborative work, Everyoned. Chris contributes his melodic tones to a band of Chicago-based musicians. Pick it up in our Shop for just $9.00!
Then head over to the Downloads area for some more music… this time we’ve got recordings of Chris live as well as some previously unreleased demos!
You’ll only find stuff this good here at chrisconnelly.com!
Tour goodies are rolling in… send yours if you have any! First up, from Nick Wilhelmy, a recording of Chris’s January 25th show at the Warehouse in LaCrosse. There’s at least one more show and some photos to come… stay tuned!
Did you watch NBC’s Kingpin on Sunday, February 9? If not, you missed Chris’s tune, “No One is Scared” (found on Private Education). Catch a rerun on Valentine’s Day on the Bravo channel!
Whether or not you’ve purchased INITIALS C.C., Chris’s first double-CD retrospective, you’re sure to enjoy reading the director’s comments which are now available. (But seriously, if you haven’t purchased INITIALS C.C. yet, go do it now!)
Finally, Pigface goes on tour in March and Chris will be with them! Check out the tour dates page for information and updates.
A message to say Happy New Year to everyone, I hope you have a great time, and that the year to follow will be disco-pool party after another. A quick mention on the passing of JOE STRUMMER, someone who meant so much to me when I was young, I still listen to the 1st 4 clash albums regularly. The clash, to me had all the integrity that the pistols did not, although I adore the pistols, too quickly they became a cartoon, the clash never did, they changed and burst from any pigeonhole they may have been placed in, often challenging their audience, always bewildering critics, listening to “London Calling” from 1979, it is a remarkable travelogue of music, at once so current to that time, both musically and politically, but at the same time, one of those rare records that transcends, and honestly sounds so fresh today. I was really sad and shocked by Joe’s death, the man had so much conviction and passion that it is hard to believe it has gone now, he will be missed.
Hi folks – It looks like a really busy year coming up for me-in theory- if all goes to plan, I will be going on tour to support “Initials CC” opening for Voodou (another band on Invisible) this tour will be happening at the end of January, to be followed immediately by a full scale Pigface tour in March/April..There’s other stuff too, like we have begun working on a new Damage Manual record, hopefully we’ll get it done without any ambulances being called.. That’s it for now…I’ll have more updates soon..much love, chris xx
Mr.Connelly has discovered the music of JOHN MARTYN..check out “Solid Air””inside out””stormbringer” or the retrospective “sweet little mysteries”…that’s all.
