- Chavez is an American band from New York City, formed in 1993. After a period of inactivity, the band re-formed in 2006. They released two independent non-charting albums in the mid-1990s. Chavez was formed from the ashes of Wider, and was inspired by the sonic approach of math rock pioneers Slint and the post-punk outfit Mission of Burma. Chavez utilizes angular, asymmetrical riffs and dramatic dynamic shifts. The band is fronted by guitarist Matt Sweeney, who was previously a member of Skunk and Wider, and played with Guided by Voices. Drummer James Lo also came from Wider; the band is rounded out by guitarist Clay Tarver (Bullet Lavolta) and bassist Scott Marshall (son of director Garry Marshall). The band quickly gained a following in the New York underground scene following the release of their first single "Repeat the Ending". Their debut album Gone Glimmering was released in 1995 and was followed by the EP Pentagram Ring. The music video for the song "Break Up Your Band" aired in an episode of MTV's Beavis and Butt-head, and the band toured with Guided by Voices and Bardo Pond. Chavez's second full-length album Ride the Fader was released in 1996, and was praised by Entertainment Weekly as "a fine specimen of spare, brainy post-metal hard rock". Chavez never officially broke up, but they released no new material and played few shows between 1999 and 2006. In 2006, Matador Records released Better Days Will Haunt You, a compilation of virtually all of Chavez's studio material up to that point, with the addition of new vocals for the song "White Jeans". The band played a few shows in support of the compilation, and later played with other bands such as Pavement and Sonic Youth. In 2001, during Chavez's period of inactivity, guitarist Matt Sweeney went on to join Smashing Pumpkins frontman/guitarist Billy Corgan and Slint guitarist David Pajo to form Zwan. Sweeney teamed up with Will Oldham (under the moniker Bonnie 'Prince' Billy) for the 2005 album Superwolf, as well producing and playing on Early Man's debut record for Matador, Closing In. Sweeney is also involved in the NYC anti-band Soldiers of Fortune who have put out two records with Mexican Summer. Clay Tarver has kept himself busy directing various television commercials as well as writing the script for the movie Joy Ride and later becoming the co-showrunner and an executive producer of Silicon Valley. Matt Sweeney played guitar on Johnny Cash's American VI released posthumously in 2010 and played in Iggy Pop's band for the Post Pop Depression record and tour. The band was chosen to perform at the ATP I'll Be Your Mirror festival organized by ATP & Portishead in September 2011 in Asbury Park, New Jersey. (en)

- Chavez — американская мат-рок-группа из Нью-Йорка, сформированная в 1993 году. В середине 1990-х были изданы два независимых, нечартных альбома. После чего последовал период бездействия, однако в 2006 году лейбл Matador Records издал бокс-сет Better Days Will Haunt You, содержащий оба альбома, мини-альбом и сингл, то есть все записи группы. Вокалист и гитарист Matt Sweeney (ранее в Skunk и Wider), гитарист Clay Tarver (ранее в Bullet Lavolta), ударник James Lo (ранее в Live Skull и Wider) и басист Davey Hoskins сделали первую демозапись в конце 1993 года. Позже басист был заменён на Scott Marshall. Благодаря синглу Repeat the Ending (1994) и потрясающим живым выступлениям группу стали узнавать на нью-йоркской клубной сцене. Их дебютный альбом Gone Glimmering и последовавший за ним мини-альбом Pentagram Ring появились в 1995, а второй альбом Ride the Fader — в следующем году. После этого они прекратили записываться в студии, но периодически собирались вместе для выступлений. Matt Sweeney играл в группах Guided by Voices и Zwan, а также сотрудничал с Уиллом Олдхэмом на альбоме Superwolf (2005). Clay Tarver режиссировал рекламную кампанию Got Milk?, а также был сценаристом фильма Ничего себе поездочка. James Lo продолжил играть в группах. Scott Marshall стал более активно задействован в киноиндустрии. (ru)
