Chris O'Connor (musician)

Chris O'Connor is a vocalist, guitarist, and bassist. His first band, I-Rails, made four albums in the course of a few years from the late 1980s up to 1991, none of which received much attention.

Using material for a planned fifth I-Rail's album, he made the Rocket album entirely on his own on a broken-down 1969 Ampex 16-track tape deck and a budget of $1,000 in 1991, and called himself Primitive Radio Gods. The album wouldn't be released for four years, but after Columbia Records released it and the single "Standing Outside a Broken Telephone Booth With Money in My Hand" shot up the charts and was featured in Jim Carrey's movie The Cable Guy, he reunited his bandmates under the new name.

He released a second album, White Hot Peach, with the band in late 2000 under a small independent label What Are Records?, and then a third album called Still Electric in 2003.

Primitive Radio Gods released their fourth full-length album, Sweet Venus, on May 4, 2006. Currently the album is only available as a download on their website. Whether or not a physical copy of the album will be produced or distributed remains to be seen.
