Chuck Treece has been involved in the Skateboard and Music scene for over 25 years.
Music and Skateboarding have always had a deep connection. The fact that many skateboarders make music and many musicians skate is well known and becoming even more apparent each year.
With his constant involvement in both these subcultures over that 25 year span of time Chuck Treece has been a pro skateboarder who continues to skate to this day. He has been and continues to make music constantly through many avenues. Chuck plays with his own band McRad as well as the following bands/projects over the years...Bad Brains, Underdog, The Roots, Stiffed, Santogold, Supergrub, BLK TOP and Dub Sabbath to name a few.
For many the first time they heard MCRAD was on a Trasher Skate Rock tape or in a Powell Peralta video. His sound was very unique but also had a hint of Bad Brains. This combination would make me an instant fan as a teen and his songs would be mental soundtracks as I skated through the streets of my town.
Here are a few pictures from a show MCRAD just played @ Kung Fu Necktie in Philly this past Monday. It was a benefit show for DIY Skateparks in the Philadelphia Area. The local skate community was in effect, videos were being played, beautiful women were in the mix and Positive Vibes abound!
