Named for the character who's an expert putter in the 1988 arcade classic Lee Trevino's Fighting Golf, Miracle Chosuke began cranking out spazzy, new and no wave-influenced indie rock around the turn of the millennium. The Costa Mesa, CA, sextet featured singer Jason Silen, guitarists Dan Gerchik and Brady Miller, bassist Jason Medina, keyboardist Rob Girardin, and drummer Andrew Taylor. On releases like their demo EP Chocodile Renaissance; Nothing Records' Five Band Comp #2; and "Gonk," which appeared on Dim Mak 2003 Sampler, Miracle Chosuke displayed a volatile sound that reflected the band's somewhat precarious nature. After touring and recording for the better part of two years, the group disbanded temporarily in 2002. However, they regrouped before Dim Mak released their full-length debut, 7/8 Wonders of the World, in spring 2003 for some possible tour dates in support of the album. Miracle Chosuke was also slated to appear on a Huggy Bear tribute album, along with the likes of the Gossip, Bratmobile, Paradise Island, and Sonic Youth, later that year. ~ Heather Phares, All Music Guide
