Like 90% percent of all other male musicians, guitarist Eugene Chadbourne started playing pop music hoping to get the attention of girls. Very quickly he grew bored of the conventional styles and gravitated towards avant-garde jazz. Since then Eugene has been as The Quietus aptly points out "one of the most absurdly prolific left-field musicians of all times". He has recorded at least 358 albums with everyone from Anthony Braxton to Camper van Beethoven. 

Aside from his prolific guitar work, Eugene also plays a broken Electric Rake , and is an author. His book Dreamory is a 1000 page collection of his tour and dream diaries, teenage and draft dodging  memoirs and much more.
