2 or more are called Chain Gang:

1. The Chain Gang were a punk band, contemparies of the Ramones and the late 70's NYC punks, although never a part of that scene. Although legendary to a few, their history and whether the group is still active remains something of an enigma.

Their original records are difficult to find information about, and almost impossible to find. However, what is certain is that their first 7' was "Son Of Sam" released in '77 and it received limited success in the UK.

Quite likely their only LP proper is "Mondo Manhattan" (Lost, 1987), although in 1990 Matador Records produced a retrospective compilation entitled "Perfumed", which includes recordings from '76/'77 and live tracks from 1988.

An interview with singer Ricky Luanda appeared in the fanzine "Forced Exposure" in 1998 and is reproduced on the Matador website http://www.matadorrecords.com/chain_gang/forced_exposure.html

At this time the group were still active and working on a film of "Mondo Manhattan".

In 2006 a trailer to the film was posted on myspace vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.channel&ChannelID=104698553

2. A rap group

3. A hard rock group
