Dominic Chad
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dominic Chad (born 5 June 1973 in Cheltenham) is an English rock guitarist, and was previously the guitarist in the rock band Mansun.
He changed his name by deed poll to Dominic Brian Chad in 1998 due to his fixation with the now deceased Rolling Stones guitarist Brian Jones.
'Chad' (as he is often referred) is a talented arranger and songwriter, having co-written several of Mansun's songs with Paul Draper, as well as writing and performing a number of B-sides himself.
After the release of Six rumour spread of a solo album, which was provisionally titled 'Parrot'. Unfortunately it never saw the light of day, apparently due to the bad press the band were already receiving from influential music paper, NME. However Mansun fans could console themselves with a taster of 'Parrot' sessions, appearing on Kleptomania. There are plans for the rest of the 'Parrot' sessions to be released within the next two years. Chad also took lead vocals on some of Mansun's songs, most notably "Golden Stone", a B-Side to "I Can Only Disappoint U".
