There is no mistake. Kasper Skou of Chocolate Strings has confirmed they love nothing more than making music and having fun.  

“We're all pretty close together, the unit itself. The majority of us have lived together at some point or another. We've all been friends for so long. It's sort of like a big family. We’re just hanging out and having roasts or cook-ups and just jamming, going to pubs and having fun.”

With eight members jamming up a storm, Chocolate Strings has a bit of everything.

“I like to say it's a reggae bass music but it sort of bleeds into dub, soul, a bit of R&B. It's a bit of everything. We have a pretty broad range of styles from our members so we just bring it all together and make it fun.”

Recently returning after a two year break, these guys are more focused on their music but not at the expense of having fun.

“We're recording for our second album, and because we had that break, we're not really in a rush. I mean, we do want to get it out as soon as possible but we want to make sure we're really happy with it.

“We all just need to do that for everyone, all the people who have been coming to our shows. It's been years since ‘Carnival’ came out. We attempted to write an album but then that album just got shelved. We've got all the recordings but we decided to re-do them anyways. I think we just feel that they deserve a better album and something that we're really, really proud of.”

Kasper also mentioned that their big group has recently expanded.

“Alex, our guitarist, just recently had a baby as well and she gets to come to some of our festival shows now which is exciting. The Strings' goal in life is to have all these kids and we can just retire and they will take it away.”

Chocolate Strings play Sol Bar Aug 23 and Island Vibe Festival Oct 25-27.
