Chevelle Still Dealing w/ Awkward Family Situation
LaunchDaily.com reports: Chevelle's new album, Vena Sera, is the first to feature bassist Dean Bernardini, who replaced Joe Loeffler last year. Joe is the brother of Chevelle singer/guitarist Pete Loeffler and drummer Sam Loeffler, and his exit was not exactly on good terms. Although the band has settled its business issues with Joe, Pete Loeffler told us that their personal relationship is still on the outs: "Awkward is an understatement for the family life now. As far as get-togethers, holidays, nothing's settled there yet. Christmas was pretty weird, to say the least. But that's life. People need to treat people with respect, and if there's respect, then there's always resolution. There's not a lot of that right now, and basically that's the next hurdle."
Chevelle has set April 3rd as the release date for Vena Sera. The CD's first single, "Well Enough Alone," arrived at radio stations on Monday, January 29th.
Sam Loeffler told Harddrive Radio that at least one of the songs on the new album, "Safer Waters," was inspired by the situation with Joe.
New bassist Dean Bernardini is also the Loefflers' brother-in-law, having married their youngest sister Natalie.
Chevelle will hit the road as openers for Evanescence, beginning on March 16th in Fresno, California.

The new CHEVELLE album will be produced by Michael "Elvis" Baskette, who the band previously worked with on both "This Type of Thinking (Could Do Us In)" and 2003's platinum-selling release, "Wonder What's Next". Tentative songtitles include "Humanoid", "Straight Jacket Fashion" and "One Cell". The new album will also mark the recording debut of bassist Dean Bernardini, who joined the band during last year's tour.
"This Type of Thinking (Could Do Us In)" entered Billboard's Top 200 at #8 and went gold in just six short weeks. The first single, "Vitamin R (Leading Us Along)", shot to No. 1 on Billboard's Active Rock chart and its companion video garnered airplay on MTV, MTV2 and Fuse. Second single "The Clincher" appeared on EA Sports' top-selling video game Madden NFL 2005 and hit top 10 on Billboard's Active Rock chart. Over the course of the months following the album’s release, the band did an arena tour with KORN, appeared on "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno", were featured on CNN, headlined the SnoCore Tour and recently wrapped a string of dates with NICKELBACK.

Chevelle: Firing Bassist Was Hardest Decision
CHEVELLE drummer Sam Loeffler and singer/guitarist Pete Loeffler recently spoke to RollingStone.com about the departure of brother Joe Loeffler (bass) after a recent blowout in Kansas City.
"I love Joe — I'll always love my brother — and I'll do anything I can for him. But he hated to tour," Sam told RollingStone.com. "He was an unhappy guy on the road . . . We wanted him to take some time off to figure out what he wanted to do, but he wasn't willing to do that. He said, 'The only way I'm staying home is if you fire me.' It was the hardest decision we ever had to make.
"The way the band worked was, basically, I wrote all the music — I always have, I always will," said Pete. "Aside from being the drummer, Sam's place in the band is the business side of it. He's always talking to management and the label. Joe was always the one who just kind of played bass. He did that very well — he's a very talented bass player — but I don't think he ever really felt a passion. He was a third member. The chemistry worked as long as it could, but the fighting just got too old."
Pete and Sam haven't spoken with Joe since, and, according to the drummer, the rest of the Loeffler family is staying out of it. "He basically said he doesn't want to talk to us right now, and we want to be respectful of that," Sam said. "But we don't know what's going to happen when it comes to Thanksgiving."

Chevelle Joins Fight To Save Historic CBGB
Chevelle have joined the fight to save legendary rock club CBGB. All proceeds from the August 4th concert, "An Evening with Chevelle," will be donated to the "Project Save CBGB" campaign.
The famed New York landmark is in danger of losing its lease and closing its doors forever. "For the past three decades, CBGB owner Hilly Kristal has provided a safe haven for rock & roll," says Chevelle vocalist/guitarist Pete Loeffler. "The list of artists that have performed at the club is endless, and many of them, including The Ramones, Quicksand and Living Colour, are responsible for launching a thousand careers. This club is part of rock history. We can't let it go quietly."
CBGB is currently battling its landlord-the Bowery Residence Committee (BRC)-to renew its 12-year lease, which expires on August 31st.
Chevelle is currently touring in support of their acclaimed new album, "This Type of Thinking (Could Do Us In)."
Chevelle Drummer Says Bassist Didn't Like Touring
Launch Radio Networks reports: CHEVELLE drummer Sam Loeffler called Launch from the road to set the record straight on why he and singer/guitarist Pete Loeffler parted ways with their brother, bassist Joe Loeffler, two weeks ago. "Joe didn't like to be in a touring band," Sam said. "It's not a secret to anyone in the industry or any fans that ever talked to him that he hated traveling. That was the biggest player in our decision. It was kind of a mutual decision, but it kind of wasn't, because he didn't want to do it, but he also didn't want to quit, and we were just kind of like, 'If you don't want to do it, you can't do it, because it's affecting us.'"
Sam Loeffler told Launch that the band knows the decision to part with Joe Loeffler has upset some of the trio's fans, but he hopes they'll be understanding. "Some people have written some pretty nasty stuff on the message board about us, and about what they think we've done, but nobody really knows because they weren't there," he said. "They got half the story or none of the story, for that matter. I guess we've kind of just asked people to bear with us, and hopefully things will work out in the end, we've just gotta give them time."
Sam Loeffler added that Joe Loeffler is not speaking with his brothers for now, but the band will not seek a permanent replacement at this point.
Former FILTER guitarist Geno Lenardo has assumed bass duties on CHEVELLE's current tour with TAPROOT and 30 SECONDS TO MARS. The tour hits Cleveland, Ohio tonight (Friday, July 15).
