captain chaos started in the fall of 2004 when i wrote a song and recorded it in the same day and gave it to someone as a gift. i tried to write and record one song a day. i only made it 8 days. those 8 songs along with 7 others are on the first album, "may all liars burn in hell". the idea was/is to write songs without thinking about them. to be pure in writing and hold nothing back. sometimes it's good. sometimes it's pretty fucking bad. you take what you get. today, i still write and record the songs as fast as possible and in 1 or 2 takes max. i also have a rule of never crossing out any line i write for a song. i never intended this project to go any further than being a project. i didn't plan on playing live but i ended up doing it anyway. at first this "band" had no name, until the day spoonboy stole my songs from my room and released them on a tape. he needed a name for the tape and knew that i didn't want it to be called by my true name. so he called it/me/my band, captain chaos. since then i have released 4 albums and will be finishing 2 more before winter is over. i play shows sometimes, when i have to, when my real band can't play. i think captain chaos is dumb. i hate it most of the time. but, i love singing songs. - CHRIS

A live recording with amazing sound quality from the show that led to our eviction the very next day. Captain Chaos is the solo project of chris from Ghost Mice. On this recording he does 5 ghost mice covers and 2 originals. Upbeat folk songs with personal & intimate lyrics. Full of sweet honesty.
Johnny Hobo dishes out his trademark raw & harsh acoustic punk style on 4 live tracks and 1 bonus (previously unreleased) studio track. Chuck full of bitter honesty.
Comes with a 5 page mini zine/booklet. Hand packaged, stenciled and made with love from old cereal boxes.
The Thanks For The Floor CD contains brand new songs from The Steinways, Hallie Unlovable (with Brook Pridemore), Captain Chaos - Little Things Of Dire Importance, Guitar Bomb, Yesterdays Pants, The Stick Martin Show, The Max Levine Ensemble, Endless Mike and The Beagle Club, Brook Pridemore, Ivan Sandomire, and The Two Thergs (2 of the 3 Ergs acoustic). It is coming in a handmade package made out of real wood veneer.
The $3 Gallon features new songs by Brook Pridemore, Guitar Bomb, The Max Levine Ensemble, Captain Chaos - Never Call Home, Ivan Sandomire, Yeterdays Pants, and The Stick Martin Show. It also has live tracks from Ghost mice, Brook Pridemore and Guitar Bomb. The Cd's will come in envelopes made out of vintage sewn maps. The liner notes are printed on the backs of Mapquest that were used on various Crafty Records Tours. All of the songs are about travel.
Note* This is probably my favorite Captain Chaos Track

"this is the captain. the sad singer. the lovesick serenader"
"captain chaos in missoula MT. sept 2005. the van refused to tour anymore. we bought a mandolin that day and joe played it that night. he had never played a mandolin before in his life."
"this is the captain, looking sinister with the siren at his side. although, he knows he will wreck his ship, her song is too sweet. he has no choice."
"this is the crooked rascal, this is the ghost. the one that got away. this is a game, a quest with no hope of ending, there is more to this story"
