Biography

GOLDIE LOOKIN CHAIN are a direct result of the coming together of several of Newport's most twisted minds. The concepts and ideas have been constantly bandied around in various guises since as far back as 1983. Early experiments, carried out by founder member Chon Ben-Wa Balls aka Mr Love Eggs, involved the use of a Studio Recorder 60, a portable tape recorder used to record favourite dialogue from television shows which was then overdubbed using a myriad of his favourite swear words.

Thirteen years later, co-founder and beatmeister extraordinaire Dwayne Xain Zedong began creating electronic music with his Rave Generator. This device enabled Dwayne to master the principles of sequencing beats, and soon a collaboration of the two minds came to pass after a chance meeting in the car park of a deserted college.

Five years later, the GOLDIE LOOKIN CHAIN began to come into its own. By this time another 21 fully grown adult males had also become inspired enough by this cultural phenomenon to want to add their own personal styles and rhythms to the fast expanding collection of urban poetry. The eight piece core of the crew consists of EGGSIE ( Mr Love Eggs ), XAIN ( Dwayne Xain Xedong ), ADAM HUSSAIN, TWO HATS, MIKE BALLS ( Hardest Man In Soccer Violence ), BILLY WEBB, MYSTIKAL and THE MAGGOT.

After a series of homemade CDR releases, the band finally decided to perform live for the first time, and the summer of 2003 saw the dawn of GOLDIE LOOKIN CHAIN as a live expression of the band's thoughts and emotions. The majority of this popularity seems to have sprung from the successful website created by the Chain's resident alchemist and technological dabbler, Mystikal. "It's wicked, it's everything a website should be and much more. To date we've had over a million hits and we're still counting. We've got music, muck, madness and mayhem. To think it all started as a front for my online sex cult The Church Of The Hidden Truth is really quite astounding".
