Career
Chase met Karen O at Ohio's Oberlin College, and he joined the Yeah Yeah Yeahs in 2000 after the original drummer left the trio.
Starting at college Chase played for the rock band The Seconds, and also for his longtime girlfriend Emily Manzo's country music band - until the pair split in 2006.
He has performed in a number of experimental duos with other musicians such as Stefan Tcherepnin and Seth Misterka, with whom he released a CD Duo on the Australian Heathen Skulls label in 2007. Other musicians he has played with include Jessica Pavone, Mary Halvorson, Moppa Elliott, and groups Oakley Hall, Blarvuster, and klezmer-fusionists The Sway Machinery
In May 2010 the Chase/Misterka Duo performed at the Melbourne International Jazz Festival and then a month long Australian tour. A second record The Shape of Sound was released to coincide.
