STALKING CHLOE combines
strong melodies, heavy guitar, thumping bass and intricate percussive
beats to create an edgy, alternative/hard rock sound with a distinct
classic rock influence. Based out of Houston, Texas, Stalking
Chloe continues to surprise the scene with their melodic songs,
high-energy performances and die-hard fans. Opposites definitely
attract as songwriters Gary Hannon (guitar/lead vocals) and Steve
Titley (bass/background vocals) bring two very different writing
styles and sets of influences to the table that, when combined,
lay the foundation for the unique Stalking Chloe sound. Enter
the classically trained, precision drumming of John Feldmann
and the result is a band that you can't put a label on, but will
make you more eager to be stalked than ever before! |

Having met in early 2001,
Gary Hannon and Steve Titley have been writing together and building
a library of songs for five years. During that time under the
name Drop Zero, they released two 5-song EPs and became well-respected
members of the musical community in Houston, Dallas and Austin.
They went on to win the 106.9 "The Point" Houston Battle of the
Bands, awarding them the honor of opening the 2003 R.E.M. show
at the Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion. They also showcased with
Vallejo at the 2003 Dallas Music Fest, played at the 2004 Houston
Super Bowl Bash and took part in the 2004 South By Southwest
Music Festival in Austin, Texas. |

Meanwhile, John Feldmann
was living in New York City, putting 15 years of studio and live
playing under his belt, and working with the likes of The Jim
Lampos Band, The Midnight Experiment, and Al Pitrelli, guitarist
for Megadeth. Upon returning to Houston, a mutual friend introduced
John to Gary and Steve. Once the lineup was complete, the band
decided that it was time for a new name. Hence the birth of Stalking
Chloe. |

Stalking Chloe's busy performance
schedule has introduced them to many new fans, as well as opening
doors to collaborating with other Houston-based artists. One
such artist, rapper Curtis Littlejohn (a.k.a. Mr. Knuckles),
attended a number of Stalking Chloe shows in early 2005 before
asking the band to perform on his latest single, "Houston Texan." Mr.
Knuckles can often be seen, along with fellow rapper Deezy, making
an onstage appearance at Stalking Chloe's shows. The result is
always an energy-driven performance that never fails to leave
the audience wanting more! |
