Center Stage: An Abandoned Albums Podcast Episode413 - Jeremy Chatelain talks Handsome, Jets to Brazil, and more.
We close our fourth season with an incredible interview with the remarkable Jeremy Chatelain.
Originally from Utah’s hardcore scene, fronting the band's Insight and Iceburn, he made his way to New York City and found himself fronting a “supergroup” that became Handsome.
Handsome, included ex-Helmet guitarist Peter Mengede and ex-Quicksand guitarist Tom Capone recorded a self-titled debut for Epic Records. The album is known for its aggressive music and incredible lyrics and continues influencing musicians.
Kerrang! listed Handsome as one of the "12 most underrated albums of the '90s," while Louder Sound included them on a list of the "top 50 cult metal bands".
After he left Handsome, Chatelain formed Jets to Brazil with singer Blake Schwarzenbach of Jawbox. The band recorded three well-received albums from 1998 - 2002
In 2005 Jeremy joined the band Helmet to play bass, replacing Frank Bello on the Size Matters tour, but left in September 2006.
Since 2000 he has written and performed with his alt-country leaning band Cub Country.
Oh, he's also and entrepreuneur and children's book author. No, you read that correctly.
We're going out BIG - this is an interview that is going in the vault.
