Brooklyn electro-rock band Chappo has come a long way since I saw them play Dynasty Electric's loft party a number of years ago. The band released their debut LP, Moonwater, earlier this year via Majordomo Records (an imprint of Shout! Factory), which Consequence of Sound described as "explor[ing] the simple splendor of youth through their wide-eyed storytelling and space-y instrumentation, sounding like MGMT coming down off a great acid trip."
The band just released a new video for "5-0" (below) and are screening the video on October 21st at a rooftop party at 151 Kent. Prior to this, the band is playing CMJ shows at Bell House and Party XPO.
