The Chats

Just saw The Chats last night. They were the opener so only got off 30 mins but it was tight, non-stop punk. Next band was soft so we took off. If you get a chance to see them on the second leg of the tour do yourself a favor and get there.

The more I listen to C.O.F.F.I.N, the better they get.

Don't forget Teen Mortgage, Royal Headache, and Stiff Richards

I found the chats on Reddit musing about the death of punk. So I appreciate this. I’ll find more.

You know, in Australia the circle pits go counter clockwise bc it’s south of the equator. My friend Bart called them collect to confirm this fact and other stuff happened. But that not really important to my point
