An introduction

The Mauch Chunk Vampires are a new musical entity creating work that we like to call Vampire Rock. Another notion we had was the term Whiskey Rock. It's certainly music that would be right at home in a vampire movie, that's for sure. What is it like? Well soon you'll be able to check out some samples. You wouldn't be wrong if you noted bands such as Concrete Blonde or Type-O-Negative just not as metal as they could get. Or  any number of goth bands, just more rock than goth. What's with the name? What in the hell does Mauch Chunk mean anyway? Glad you asked, it's a place actually. Mauch Chunk was the original name of the current town of Jim Thorpe Pennsylvania. OH, so you're from Jim Thorpe PA? Well, that's a little tricky as our members hail from three different states in the Mid-Atlantic, though one of our songwriting team is from very near Jim Thorpe. The larger reason for the name is that we love the town. It has an atmosphere that lets the mind wander. It's exceptional Victorian architecture and geographic ruggedness converge to affect most people who visit there. It's not hard to imagine it's just the sort of place vampires would inhabit. So there you have it.
