History

Chandrasonik & Sensei began forming a band in MD on holiday from college, summer of 1989. Through a mutual friend, they met Chris and created the band Weird Harold, picking up a succession of exploding guitarists. In 1992, having added guitar virtuoso Mark Schweikert, Weird Harold recorded a 17-track CD of originals at Noise New Jersey studios with notorious Shimmy Disc producer Kramer (King Missile, Urge Overkill, Daniel Johnston).




The 1994 release spawned the infamous "Cappuccino Girl" single, which became a staple of local college radio stations. In 2002, sessions for 24HPP began in earnest in various VT locations, showcasing a more evolved, effects-driven Manchester sound and culminating in the first gig in Feb. 2003. And the rest, most-assuredly, is history in the making... 24 Hour Party People will be playing a venue near you soon, so stay tuned.
