Chinatown played a mix of covers and originals, and had a large gig following from 1996-1998.

Searchin', Salt in My Wounds, and Down all became live favourites alongside Lizzy's Are You Ready, and AC/DC's Sin City.

The Skint Chicken EP was recorded at Thornwood Studios, Epping, while the band watched England beat Spain on penalties in Euro '96!!

Memorable gigs included The Rock Garden (Covent Garden), The Royal Standard (Walthamstow), and playing with Dumpy's Rusty Nuts at The Square, Harlow.
