Kaos

Formed in Los Angeles, Kaos was active between 1980 and 1981, and featured Johnny Stingray (aka Jim Gann), formerly of The Controllers, on vocals and guitar.

From the reissue sleeve:
“I started Kaos mostly for an excuse to be a guitar player again. I’d been playing bass for The Controllers for the the last year and while I enjoyed it, I really wanted to play my new Ibanez Les Paul really loud. My girlfriend at the time, Amy Wichmann, wanted to learn how to play bass. She had a highschool buddy, Lisa Adams, who played a little guitar, so we started jamming together just for fun…”
– Johnny Stingray, April 2000
