Chevelle formed in 1995 in Grayslake, Illinois , when brothers Pete Loeffler and Sam Loeffler started enjoying and learning to play music. Pete started playing guitar and singing while Sam began playing drums in their parents’ garage. Bassist Matt Scott was also in the band until 1996. Their youngest brother Joe Loeffler joined the band replacing Scott. Each of the band members were self-taught musicians. The name Chevelle came from the Chevrolet Chevelle , a car popular in the Midwestern hot rod scene around which the Loeffler brothers grew up. The band started playing small outdoor concerts and clubs around Chicago , Illinois , with Joe being only 14 years old.
