   About The Chemistry Experiment
There are a lot of lies about The Chemistry Experiment. Here I give you only the truth.. in the form of ten FACTS!
  1. The Chemistry Experiment live and make music in Nottingham, England... the gun and drugs capital of the western world (apparently)
  2. The present day lineup of Steven J Kirk, The Paul Stone, Emily Kawasaki, Lee Tombs and Martin Craig have been together for about seven years.
  3. The Chemistry Experiment once played a show on an old Chinese Junk on the river Seine in Paris.
  4. John Peel once started to play 'Charles Aznavour Song' (the opening track on the 'Be My Postman' Ep) at the wrong speed. He then proceeded to talk over the false ending.
  5. The first real Chemistry Experiment album, 'The Melancholy Death' took over five years to record. It was released in 2005.
  6. The second real Chemistry Experiment album, 'Gongs played by voice', isn't finished yet - but it is almost certain to be released before 2010.
  7. Steven J Kirk once opened a gig in Northampton by saying 'I've never been to Norwich before'. Not only was this inappropriate given where the gig was, it was also a lie as Steven J Kirk, and the rest of the band, have all been to Norwich.
  8. Martin, the drummer, has got a cat called Dave. Steven and Paul (who are not gay lovers) have a rabbit called Darth Vader. Lee has two dragons, who are called Seamus and Brian but are not real. Emily has an armadillo tank called Jeremy.
  9. Giraffes have four legs.
  10. The Chemistry Experiment aren't making music for money, fame or adulation. They are doing it because it's fun. That doesn't mean, however, that money, fame and adulation wouldn't be gratefully accepted.
