Stephen Shaughnessy - Drums, backup vocals

Stephen Shaughnessy Stephen first quenched his thirst to jam by beating upside down waste baskets and a lone bongo drum with marching band drum sticks lifted from his junior high’s band. Stephen is extremely grateful to his mother for all of her support and encouragement through the early years of his musical career. By his senior year in high school, he had joined “The Cases” – a 4 piece classic-new wave-punk band that toured Walpole’s keg party scene in the summers of ’80 & ’81. By the late 80’s to mid 90’s, he was drummer & vocalist for another quartet known as “The Irish Beat” bringing a blend of rock, country and traditional Irish music to the Boston club scene. Heavily influenced by the classic steady beat sound of Rolling Stone Charlie Watts and the more over the top creativity of The Who’s Keith Moon and the multi-rhythmic world beats of The Police’s Stewart Copeland, Stephen enjoys varied musical styles and was attracted to the variety of material and influences present in the formation and development of Dubble D & The Khaos Junkies’ first CD project.

Chris Wood...a.k.a...Woody - Bass guitar, backup vocals

Chris Wood (Woody) has been fortunate to play bass, keys, guitar (and even trombone from time to time) with many incredibly talented musicians in Central Massachusetts and elsewhere over the past 30+ years. Woody has learned something from all of them. From his start with Destiny at Westboro High School in the 80’s, to gigs with WoodenHatch, Murray’s Rule, Nearly Done, and more recently Voodoo Sky and Josh Briggs, it’s been a great ride and he’s now excited to be rocking out with the Khaos Junkies! Some of Woody's major music influences are the Beatles,Cheap Trick, Aerosmith, ELO and other iconic bands from the days when he still had bangs. Similar to Sir Paul, Woody is a perfectionist in terms of playing his instrument; in this case with the Junkies, he brings new found energy to the bottom end with his bass guitar. Rumor has it that Woody might even dance a little if you ask him nicely, but you’ll need to show up at the gigs to see for yourself........just don’t expect to see the trombone anytime soon in this rock band!
