Chris B

A “two-fer” this month!  Quite by accident, my CD’s by THE RICHMOND SLUTS and BIG MIDNIGHT wound up side by side (they still are in fact).  Bassist Chris Beltran is in both bands as well; he is credited as Chris B in the Richmond Sluts.

The Richmond Sluts were founded by Chris B (Chris Beltran, on bass guitar) and Shea Roberts (guitar and vocals) in 1998; they shared similar tastes in music, such as the Clash, the Rolling Stones, New York Dolls, and the Stooges.  After adding Justin Lynn (keyboards), the Richmond Sluts developed a distinctive sound and began performing with the Brian Jonestown Massacre and Black Rebel Motorcycle Club.
