Chagall Guevara

Chagall Guevara was an American rock band, heavily influenced by The Clash, formed by solo artist Steve Taylor in 1989. The band was named after revolutionary Che Guevara and painter Marc Chagall ("Revolutionary art"). Although the band was together from 1989 on through 1992, it's existence was not publicly confirmed until 1990.

Taylor asked friends Lynn Nichols (from the 1970's Phil Keaggy band), Dave Perkins, bassist Wade Jaynes and drummer Mike Mead.

The band first appeared on the soundtrack to the motion picture Pump Up The Volume with a song called "Tale O' The Twister". The band's only album was released on MCA Records in 1991 and was well received by music critics and MTV. Although the band had already begun to record a second album, MCA Records went through some restructuring and dropped the band before it could be released.

Chagall Guevara disbanded some time later, but they did reunite temporarily in 1994 to record a song for a tribute to Mark Heard, entitled Strong Hand of Love.
