About This Event

Formed in theirmate’s bong shed in Coolum, Queensland 2016 at age seventeen, The Chatsrepresent everything that’s good about Australia and nothing that’s bad: a rebelspirit, gallows humour and the endless hedonistic pursuit of A Bloody GoodTime. Cold stubbies within close reach, 24-7.



Starting in theirmusic class while at St Theresa’s Catholic College in Noosaville, a suburb ofNoosa, Queensland, two hours north of Brisbane, they began practicing in theshed in nearby Verrierdale (pop: 775) during their final year of education (theschool’s website notes “Whilsttheir music may not be everyone's cup of tea, they have certainly made animpact, and they continue to Dare the Dream.”). Their name meanwhile comes fromthe nearby suburb of Chatswood.



Drawing influencefrom the same fertile Australian pub rock scene that spawned everyone fromAC/DC and The Saints to Cosmic Psychos and The Hard Ons, and sharing a similarsingular self-contained approach to their art as such latter-day Aussie rockheroes as King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard, The Chats describe themselvesas “dropkick drongos from the Sunshine Coast of Australia”. It’d be difficultto argue otherwise.
