In the studio...

Hey there.

Just wanted to let everyone know what is going on in the world of Chevelle. For the last 6 months we have been writing and working on our new record, and finally we are at the recording stage. We are out in Nashville working with Brian Virtue in his personal studio. The weather is great and its an environment conducive to writing and working. We have spent a lot of time making these songs something different from past records, without losing the core of our passion. We are a hard rock, melodic band and its still what drives us as musicians. We have also started to book a tour in the U.S. (europe coming later in the year) and are working on a package of bands we would like to play with. Who do you want us to tour with? We are also going to start posting some photos of us in the studio and maybe even some video if anything looks good. There are lots of ideas and art flying around the offices so look for a new website and myspace designs coming up.

Cheers and thanks for checking in.

please come do a tour in australiaa!!!

Love the new website boys...Can't wait to see you live again.

Any plans on coming to Northern California on this tour. I think this just may be the first time you have passed us by. I usually see you in Reno, NV but wish you would come to Sacramento, CA.

Hey Boys.

Please come to Vienna, Austria !!

My dream tour would be: Three Days Grace, Filter, 10 Years, Tool and Chevelle -- all of whom are releasing albums this year if I'm not mistaken. If you guys could make this happen, that would be MY Woodstock or heaven. See you with Halestorm and Staind in St. Paul!! Can't wait!!!

You guys HAVE to do a tour around Cali. My wife and I have been dying to see you and I know plenty of others that want the same thing. I used to go to concerts all of the time when I was younger and I am now getting back into it and I would love to start it off with you guys! Can't wait, please yell at the powers that be to GET IT DONE. Can't wait for the new album either, peace.

Please come to Costa Rica I request it in order that something comes from quality

You guys are amazing! I would have never met my new best friend if it weren't for you!

So happy you guys finally added a Dallas date!!! I will be seeing you guys for the 1st time LIVE on 8/20!!

You guys are the best and I love your music so much... If you did a tour with Breaking Ben and Three Days Grace, I would do just about anything to go to that show. I don't know how feasible it would be to put that together, but it would be the tour to end all tours.

I went and saw you guys up in SF and I have to say it was one of the best live shows I have EVER seen. I loved your music the first time I heard it and didn't know the band. When I heard the name, Chevelle, it made it even better. As said above, please come back to SF bay area.

I actually have been to quite a few of your shows where it is only you guys playing,,, no body else needed!! Those were my favorite concerts ever, you dont need anyone else with you!!!!! Love you guys and cant wait for new songs!!

Any of the following bands would be great!

Tool
Breaking Benjamin
Three Days Grace
Trapt
Filter
Hurt
Fair to Midland
32 Leaves
10 Years
Karnivool

pleeeeeeeeeasaeeeeeeee come to NYC

how could you have a tour without coming to NYC?

it would be great to see you guys in a place like the fillmore at irving plaza.

better yet come to Jones beach!!!!!!!!

I can hardly wait to hear the new tunes!

Come to Mexico guys...!!!

OMG, I would totally die if Chevelle was to go on tour with Trapt! They are my two favorite bands and it is just my dream tour. As long as they play at family friendly places cuz l'm under the drinking age and so it's kind of hard to go to places that sell alcohol.

Mexico waits you! Mexico waits you! Mexico waits you! PLEASE COME !!!!!

never been to a concert before...ima make yalls my first!!! keep up that bad ace work! TEXAS

Jars is wicked.You guys never disappoint!

Where can I hear Jars? I haven't heard it yet and I am dying to hear it!

...

so i could head your awesomness!!!! jars f***ing RULES!!!

hey guys i tryed to send u a message on myspace. but couldnt so i tryed to get on your site, i left a comment on one of your blogs on myspace about me talking to u guys about the album cover also i would love it if i could get a message back my names sparks on the myspace thank you so much... keep up the awsome work hope to hear from u n possibly work

I am pumped about the show July 20th, can't wait.
I think in the future you guys should tour with:

tool
Breaking Benjamin
Deftones
10 Years
Evans Blue
Earshot

Or no one at all, I would go no matter who is on tour with you.

I should kick myself for the MANY missed opportunities to see you guys live. I finally committed and caught your show last night in St. Paul, MN. I am speechless and definitely addicted. That was more than I expected. You guys f''en rock! I don't know when you plan to return to the Twin Cities so I think I may have to take a special road trip this summer just to see you again. What a kickoff to summer. Please come back soon.

I first saw Chevelle perform in April 2005 at the Metroplex in Little Rock and 2 days later at the University of Arkansas. They played this really awesome, heavy song that I haven't heard at any show since. Also, it's not on any album. I was wondering if anyone might know the song. I've always thought it might be a cover. The only lyrics I think I could decipher were something like "which side I don't know" and "over here the grass is greener".

Well I have been a devoted fan of Chevelle since 2004 and have been to 3 of their concerts from The House of Blues in South Carolina, Hooligans in Jacksonville North Carolina, and here in Corpus Christi TX at the Concrete Street. Now Chevelle is coming to Hildago TX in the "Stimulate this Tour". I cant wait. I head out for afganistan in September and could not think of a better way to rock out before a deployment then to see the badest band ever. Cant wait to see you all again and maybe even face to face.

Thank you,
Brandon

Hey Guys!

I am really excited to hear about your new album and the tour in europe you think about. Your development ist just great! PLEASE make sure you take it to Germany. As far as I can say, you are really popular and well known in here. You asked about people you might tour with. Even though I don't know the exact style of your new album, I always compared you with bands like Breaking Benjamin, Flyleaf, Trapt (though they appear to be turning to the softer direction now) and 3 Days Grace. Stone Sour or Dark New Day would make a good match as well. If you could manage to bring any of these bands to Europe (let me insist on Germany again ;D), you won't be disappointed by the fans!!

Best wishes, keep up the great work! Ben

I saw you guys in Saratoga Ny at Big Day Out and you were awsome as always!!! When will you guys be back to the Albany Ny area again? Anytime soon? And will you be tourinf with Shinedown again?

Breaking Benjamin
Stone sour
Three Days Grace
Tool

Ho, and PLEASE COME TO QUEBEC CITY!! It's so sad you can't be there tonight. I would have love to see you. Well...I guess I'll have to drive to the States soon! Smiling

U GUYS R THE BEST!!! YOU WERE BOTH SO NICE TO TAKE TIME OUT TO TALK WITH ME AND MY FRIENDS. Thanks for the drumstick Sam and thanks for the drawing of the heart Pete on my autograph. Michelle

Hi Tipme!
Though I didn't have the opportunity to listen to them in concert (Im from Germany), I can imagine which song that was they played there. It sounds like "Fool in Paradise" from Clawfinger... Would fit their early style as well.
Greetz, Ben

Just wanted to say that you guys were INCREDIBLE at the Chevrolet Theatre, CT with staind and shinedown. I loved the show, especially getting to hear "Sleep Apnea" and "Jars"...as for who you should tour with..

Breaking benjamin
Tool
Drowning Pool
Rise Against

Can't wait for the new album
-Ryan

Breaking Benjamin
Tool

Ok long story short.. My name honest to god is Chevelle. Exact spelling.. the whole nine yards. mainly named after the car but whatever. I was in love with you guys's music before i even knew the name of your band... you are one of my absolute favorites and i would love to see you guys in concert more than i could possibly explain... only problem is im extremely broke.. and well that puts me in bad luck as far as seeing you guys.... so anyways... LOVE YOU!!!!!!!

YOU GUYS HAVE TO COME TO SPOKANE WASHINGTON!!!!! ITS A MUST!!!

hey you guys plan on coming back to vegas anytime soon, saw you at the joint, great show, would love to see you come back again

Please come to El Paso, TX. You guys can swing by when you tour the other tx cities.

Being from Chicago and not coming up to Minneapolis.... well that's just not right.
Us Midwesterners have to stick together.
I must say You and Staind in Rochester..... never forget it.
Can't wait for the new record......
Book Minneapolis.. PLEASE

Please PLEASE... come back to the Newport in Columbus, Ohio. It was one of the greatest concerts i've ever experienced! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!!

I saw you guys twice in Fargo, ND and once in Minneapolis in years past. Chevelle is one of my favorite bands and those shows were some of the best I've been to. I would love if you guys could get to North Dakota again, but if not here at least to Minneapolis/St. Paul. You have a lot of fans and people you influence in the midwest. My dream concert would involve Chevelle and Deftones, my two favorite rock bands. If not the Deftones, I would settle for Flyleaf, Circa Survive, Coheed and Cambria, Tool, Emery, Paramore. Any of those bands would be a great pairing with Chevelle and since you've already paired with Staind we seem to be thinking on the same page. Good luck on the resolution of the album and everyone up north is biting their nails in anticipation!

So just like it says, you guys are my favorite band. I've loved your music for years. Seein you in concert would be the best thing in the world. Lookin at the tour dates though your not comin close enough. Omaha Wichita or Kansas City would be ideal and I would be in heaven. Please Please get there. I can't wait to hear the whole new album. Keep on rockin!!
