Tickets are now available for THE CHATS at Rock City!
Hands down the world’s greatest post-millennial punk-rock group, The Chats have skipped past theunimaginable banana skin of COVID-19 to emerge tougher, faster, funnier, more riotous – even betterfor 2022!
The trio, originally formed in Australia’s self-explanatory resort Sunshine Coast, are aonce-in-a-generation band who reconnect popular music with its roots in ultra-raw rock ‘n’ roll, injecttheir own fresh perspective, and have duly made an instantaneous connection with their youthfulpeers right across the globe.
Most people know them for their 2017 breakthrough banger, ‘Smoko’, but that has proved tobe just the party-starter, merely the entrée to a high-volume, full-throttle world where intoxication,excitement and laughter rule supreme – the kind of kinetic thrills which have all but drained out ofcontemporary pop/rock.
As the 2020’s dawned, The Chats were building enviable momentum right across Europe,North America and their homeland, ready for the arrival of their full-length debut, ‘High RiskBehaviour’. Replete with further rowdy classics including ‘Pub Feed’ and ‘Identity Theft’, the albumdropped just as the pandemic struck, and The Chats have duly been through the same frustratingtwo years of broken dreams and shredded itineraries as every other combo.
Undeterred and now stocked to overflowing with frustration and fury, they strike back with asecond long-player called ‘GET FUCKED’ – an incendiary, hyper-adrenalized blitz from punk heaven,showcasing a rockin’ new guitarist, and an electrifying all killer-no-filler 13 tracks which perfectlycapture the band’s explosive energy. It is, quite simply, another laugh-out-loud, pogo-through-the-floorboards stroke of motherfucking genius.
