The Chain Gang of 1974

The String Gang of 1974 may be the moniker of multi-instrumentalist and DJ Kamtin Mohager’s alternative dance music project. Given birth to in San Jose and elevated in Hawaii and later on Denver, Mohager’s 1st enthusiasm was hockey, but after hearing Tears for Worries’ “Everybody Really wants to Guideline the Globe” in the film Actual Genius, the teen was inspired to try out music. (The project’s name recommendations the Raveonettes recording title The String Gang of Like, and the delivery 12 months of another of his preferred music artists, Ryan Adams.) After playing bass on tour with 3OH!3 from 2007 through 2010, Mohager launched the String Gang of 1974. Released this year 2010 by himself Golden Yellow metal label, the first recordings collection Fantastic Nostalgic and full-length debut Light Guts provided a audio borrowing from electro, synth pop, and post-punk, accented by Daft Punk-esque hooks and vocal stylings similar to Passion Pit. Afterwards that season, in the wake of the breakup, Mohager shifted to LA and had written sophomore record Wayward Fireplace, a musical journal discovering that failed romantic relationship which came on Modern Artwork in June 2011. The project’s Warner Bros. debut materialized in 2014 via the hooky electro-pop of Daydream Forever, which arrived on Billboard’s Heatseekers Albums graph. The Gang parted methods with Warner Bros. because of its 4th LP, Felt, that was self-released together with Caroline Information in middle-2017.
