ROB SEZ:  Got longevity? The Chills do. Thanks to the stubborn persistence of founder, lead vocalist, & songwriter Martin Philipps, The Chills are still at it more than 30 years after they began. Here's a pair of shows 31 years apart, with deep thanks to buenaventura, auto_pilot, and crankingamps for sharing their gems. The Chills' latest studio album is Scatterbrain, released in May of this year.
