-- Funk-metal with elements of ska and reggae and a surprising acoustic prowess  Jimmie’s Chicken Shack has a powerful sense of melody that seldom lets the foursome down. This is a band that gets much of its aggression from metal, punk and alternative, but isn't afraid to incorporate elements of Middle Eastern music Jimmie's Chicken Shack blends funk-metal with elements of ska and reggae but also a surprising acoustic prowess. Lead vocalist Jimi HaHa grew up in Maryland and played with a group named Ten Times Big for several years.  After the band broke up, he hit the snowboarding circuit for two years but then began several acoustic jams with friends. HaHa recruited drummer Jim Chaney (from Ten Times Big), longtime friend Che' Lemon on bass and guitarist Dave Dowling (aka Double D) to form Jimmie's Chicken Shack. Based in Annapolis, Maryland, the group formed their own Fowl Records and released Give Something Back. After selling tens of thousands of records around the Baltimore area, Jimmie's Chicken Shack signed to Elton John's Rocket Records and released their major-label debut, Pushing the Salmanilla Envelope. Still involved with their own label, however, the group also released The Original Recipe, a collection of early recordings, followed in 1999 by Bring Your Own Stereo.
