"Six Pack"

Mistress of the Night is the new single from Gold Coast rockers The Chevron Whores. Clocking in at over 6 minutes it's an epically riotous piece that is bound to take you back to a day where prog and punk were played with such passion.

~ Dan Condon, Time Off Magazine June 2007 - Time Off Magazine


"Heaven and Hellraisers"

Gold Coast hellraisers The Chevron Whores launch there new CD, Mistress of the Night at the Hard Rock Cafe, Surfers Paradise tomorrow night.
The single is the bands first release since 2006's Saturday Night Sin EP. They've been on the circuit since 2002, building support with their full-of-beans show and lively tunes about life's seedy underbelly.

"Single Review"

They (The Chevron Whores) are just as likely to flip the bird to the Dark Lord as any other authoritative figure. Mistress of the Night shows how The Chevron Whores go against the grain, transforming a sleazy tight-leather-pant song into the six minute muscle rock epic. Bringing in bits of ballad and dirty blues to stand out from the rest of the Bogan-punk army.

"Saturday Night Sin (EP) Review"

In a sea of introspective indie mush and self obsessed emo punk whinery, Gold Coast rockers The Chevron Whores stand shining. Singing balls out rock n roll about life as they know it - Which seems to be drugs and hot women. The Result is "Saturday Night Sin" 5 tracks of rock n roll action. The band sounds like an original blend of the Dead Kennedys, Tool, Guns n Roses and some kind of mellow rock band. The songs rock on with a few different feels. Lead vocalist Jarro delivers his vocals sincerely with a versatile voice that mostly sounds like it's just crawled out of a bin full of empty bottles and darb butts. The rest of the band play tight, hard and clearly know how to rock out. From the song writing all the way to the awesome packaging of the disc, The Chevron Whores are the real deal. Sex, Drugs and Rock n Roll, I recommend the Whores.

"CKY Live"

“If you get the chance to see the Chevron Whores, do it because they’re an exceptional live band to watch!”

"Gold Sounds 777"

>And the votes are in for the Most Stylish Rockstar on the GC scene, the award goes to Purple Zain for daring to wear what only Prince could get away with. Coming a close second was 'Nathan Death', the lead singer of ASD. Go the androgyny!

"Gold Sounds 769"

>Nearly five years down the track, The Chevron Whores are still the Gold Coast's most mis-understood band. With their notorious name and an image likened to sex on drugs, it has been easy to pass The Whores off as another shallow trash-rock band. However, actually going to a Chevron Whore show would introduce you to one of the most sonically defying bands on the GC scene. The Whores create an original sound by blending metal, punk, psychedelic blues and rhapsody into a coherent set. It could be said that the Whores are the only local band pushing for that massive stadium sound which their forefathers of rock acheived decades earlier.

-Tayce Brown, Rave Mag, Dec 2006 - Rave Magazine


"Hard Rock Cafe"

By far, one of the most dynamic and entertaining rock acts on the Gold Coast, TCW are notoriously known for putting on a hell of a rock show, the way it was meant to be. Loud, abrasive and playing the soundtrack of sex,drugs and rock n roll. Visually and musically colourful, the boys are not shy and play like they're at Madison Square Garden. A show not to miss.

Bio

The Chevron Whores brand new single has landed, and this time the boys think they have cracked the future of Rock 'n' Roll. With their new 6minute 17second rhapsody "Mistress of the Night", The Whores have moulded rocks commercial viability, prog's musical dexterity, and punks heaving aggression into one corker of a song. Brisbane’s Time Off Magazine described Mistress of the Night as;

"An epically riotous piece that is bound to take you back to the days when prog and punk were played with such passion."
~Dan Condon, Time Off Magazine (20-26 June 2007).

The Whores are the Gold Coast’s premier unsigned act. They are one of the few G.C. bands who have;
• Regularly pulled over 200 punters to their shows,
• Received numerous write ups in Brisbane street press, as well as being played on Brisbane radio
• Supported international touring acts and toured interstate
• Booked 60 seat busses to Brisbane for their fans,
• Played all major G.C. venues multiple times,
• And have a real life “reputation” - which they back with their multifarious music and enthralling live shows.

The band will be heading back into the studio soon to follow up Mistress of the Night with their sophomore EP – a disc that is bound to turn heads. Wolfmother may have captured the retro rock sound of early Black Sabbath, but The Whores are looking to break down the walls of Zep’, Deep Purple, Yes, DK’s, Iggy, Floyd and Queen, then rebuild it all again for the 21st century. Come 2008, Wolfmother may be gettting "Paranoid", but The Whores will be the band that brings the REVOLUTION!!
