 Chavez (band) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Chavez is an indie rock band from New York active in the national club scene.
Formed in 1993 from the ashes of Wider, the band owed much to the sonic approach of math rock pioneers Slint and the post-punk outfit Mission of Burma, utilizing angular, asymmetrical riffs, dramatic dynamic shifts and a brutal sonic attack.
The band is fronted by guitarist Matt Sweeney, who was previously a member of Skunk and Wider, and played with Guided by Voices.

 Chavez: Better Days Will Haunt You: Pitchfork Record Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-09)
Chavez never really did "evocative"-- on the band's two excellent Matador full-lengths, the sonics were loud and compressed, the arrangements were straightforward and bare-bones, and Matt Sweeney's voice was unspectacularly gravelly-nasally.
As with many great indie rock bands, Chavez are better described as the sum of their individual players than as the sum of their influences.
Chavez's debut single "Repeat the Ending" and album Gone Glimmering are a bit scrappier than their sophomore opus Ride the Fader; the angularity of Sweeney and Tarver's guitars is a little more obvious, and the vocal melodies aren't quite as strong.

On 11 April 2002 Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez was overthrown in a coup d'etat, and immediately the United States granted its blessing to the new regime.
Actually it was Chavez's successor, Pedro Carmona Estanga, who dissolved the congress, disbanded the Supreme Court, closed the Attorney-General's and comptroller's offices, repealed 48 laws that shifted some of the country's wealth from the elite and oligarchs to the country's poor, and ripped up the constitution.
And I hope what he said in his speech this morning, that he understands that this is a time for national reflection, that he recognizes it’s time for him to reflect on how Venezuela got to where it is. He needs to respect constitutional processes.

With all their material collected here together, it's kind of surprising just how strong a band Chavez were: Gone Glimmering is a fantastic record and Ride The Fader is nothing short of a forgotten indie rock classic.
The highlight is undoubtedly the Pot Smokin' Dream Sequence skit the band concocted in which we get a view into each of the members' dreams after a backseat toking session.
Alas, who even knows if anything in the liners is serious as the videos definitely show a band with its fingers firmly on "The Pulse" of "The Funny." Ultimately, this set is just a fantastic document of a band too often overlooked.
