AZ, Ellen the Felon and Max Bravo do an outdoor, Memorial Day podcast with Peter and Charmaine of Dichro with a wild array of new music.
In April 2020, amidst the chaos of a world in flux, Peter Guellard, renowned bassist of Pittsburgh’s industrial rock legends Venus in Furs and former member of Mace and The Electric Hellfire Club, embarked on a unique musical experiment. Bringing together a cadre of local musicians, Guellard orchestrated an online cover of the iconic but “industrialized” folk classic “Man of Constant Sorrow,” infusing it with an electronic edge that left listeners electrified and from this virtual collaboration emerged Dichro, a dynamic quartet poised to redefine the boundaries of darker types of music. August 2020 marked their official debut with a mesmerizing cover and accompanying music video of Dead Can Dance’s “The Ubiquitous Mr. Lovegrove,” a bewitching rendition that captivated audiences with its exotic allure. Guellard is joined by guitarist Dirk Miller (Rusted Root, Uprooted), drummer and an established percussionist Tracey Whorton (Venus In Furs, Jenn Wertz Band), and singer/songwriter/dancer/actress Charmaine Freemonk, back in the Pittsburgh area after several years spent touring with the Amazing Acro Cats and moving from Austin to New Orleans to Atlanta.
