== 2Charlie is a New York based musical project created in late 2005 by singer/songwriter Philip "The Wicked Angel" Kinkel. == The debut c/d "Join The Crazy" was released in 2006 to good internet interest, and created a bit of industry buzz. While feeling that "Join The Crazy" didn't achieve the energy and vibe he was looking for, several very gifted musicians passed through during the creation of "Join The Crazy" including Dennis Rohrer (rhythm guitars), Joe "The Axeshredder" Cippola (lead guitars), and Richie Spicer (live drums tracks), all forming a line-up that should have been enough to crack through the hardened music business.

This was not to be however, as soon after the c/d's release the first change was made as Brett Kinkel (Philip's cousin) stepped in to replace Richie Spicer (who had departed the band) on drums live.

Soon after, the Axeshredder left also, conitnuing his phenomonal solo work, and going on to join another project.

During a long hiatus, Philip went on to entertain the thought of producing other people, and began to toy around with the title Psycho City Productions...

As the time passed without 2Charlie, "Psycho City Productions" became a reality as Philip produced Brett's band, the self titled "If At All". The production bug hit Philip full force during the recording of the c/d, but as time went by, he felt he needed to start to write some music again...

This led to the re-emergence in his belief of himself as a musical force. Thinking that 2Charlie was a thing of the past however, Philip concentrated on a totally self performed project called "The Wicked Angel" the self titled c/d released in late 2009.

Time changed his feelings once again as he started to search for musicians for 2Charlie to back the line-up of himself on vocals and bass guitar, and Dennis Rohrer on guitar. This led to the find of Johnny Waste, of Urban Waste fame joining on guitars for a tour de force of power on guitar. However during the search for a drummer, an Urban Waste re-union came up, and Philip joined as bass player with the reformed Urban Waste consisting of Johnny Waste, John Dancy and Kenny Ahrens. One ultra spectacular show at the "One Big Night" event at The Knitting Factory in NYC was enough to convince Philip that he needed to keep playing live shows at whatever capacity, but was soon after tossed out of Urban Waste. All difficulties aside, he enjoyed his time there, and yearned for the energy of a live crowd.

In time he began to write some new songs with the intent to incorporate them into a set for a newly formed 2Charlie, a project which at this time is coming to fruition as he searches for players to "join the crazy".
