Officially the band started in 1991 and started playing shows in 1992. However, they only played a small number of shows at this stage and decided to concentrate their efforts on practicing. In 1993 the band started playing regularly in venues around Calgary.
In 1996 Chixdiggit! were signed to Sub Pop records. They released their first self-titled album on the record label, however they only lasted a short time on the label. The band left the label as they felt as though they didn't fit in with the record label's ideals. As stated by Mike from the band: "the people that actually had to sell our records and deal with us on a day to day basis were not quite so fond of us".
At this stage Chixdiggit was touring worldwide. They were quickly picked up by Honest Don's Records, a Fat Wreck Chords subsidiary from San Francisco.
After the release of 2000's From Scene to Shining Scene, the band took a hiatus, from which they returned in 2003 and in 2005 the band started writing and recording its fourth full length album, Pink Razors. The album was released April 19, 2005 on Fat Wreck Chords in North American and Bad Taste Records in Europe.
Founding member Mike Eggermont left the band in 2002 and started Blatant Media, a software company. In 2003, drummer Dave Alcock (owner of Sundae Sound recording studio) left the band, and was replaced by the band's original drummer, Jason Hirsch.
On October 31st, 2007, the band released a re-recording of their debut album, Chixdiggit!, on Bad Taste Records. The re-recorded album was titled Chixdiggit! II.
Julianne
Chixdiggit! Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Chixdiggit!'s song "Julianne" is a catchy pop punk love song that expresses the singer's admiration for a girl named Julianne. The repetition of the chorus, "I really had a great time, you know I really gotta thank Julianne," emphasizes the singer's appreciation for her and his desire to spend more time with her. The lyrics suggest that the two had a good time together, but also imply that the relationship may not be exclusive, as the singer expresses a wish for others to be with him as well.
Upon closer inspection, the song seems to be about more than just a surface-level attraction. The repeated use of the phrase "you know" before the singer thanks Julianne indicates that their connection may be deeper and more personal than outsiders realize. Additionally, the guitar solo that follows the chorus speaks to the passion and intensity of the singer's feelings for Julianne, suggesting that their relationship is electric and exciting.
