Jimmie’s Chicken Shack Holidaze Show

Jimmie’s Chicken Shack formed in 1993. J.C.S. blends rock, funk, and metal with elements of ska and reggae. They do this to create their own unique sound they call “Muttrock”.

The band released two tapes and two CDs on their own label, Fowl Records, from 1993-1995. Because of this, the band then signed to Elton John’s Rocket Records in 1996 and released their major-label debut, “Pushing The Salmanilla Envelope” in 1997 and started touring nationally and internationally.

Additionally, their single “High” became a staple on rock radio around the world, reaching number 10 on the Billboard Active Rock chart. The video for “High” was the first digital video ever aired on MTV. Their single “Do Right” crossed over to multiple radio formats and reached number eight on the Billboard Alternative chart. The video was a staple on MTV and M2.

Known for their energetic and eclectic live sets, Jimmie’s Chicken Shack’s line up consists of founding member Jimi Haha on vocals and guitar, Jerome Maffeo on drums, Christian Valiente on bass, and Bryan Ewald and Matt Jones on guitar to make the band a five piece. J.C.S. celebrated their 30th anniversary in 2023.
