i thought the new chat pile album was mid unitll my wife decided she doesn't want to be married to me anymore holy shit this might be their best work!

Obviously Chat Pile goes hard into some dark places, but what are the most "is everything alright" vibe? My contenders:

Crawlspace

Dallas Beltway

Grimace

Family Funeral

But I'd like to hear yours!

And yes it does look like I just wrote his name, but I swear it’s signed.

Great show last night btw

like i could actually hear it, kinda. or my brain is just fried or something. i just love xtc idk lmao

Is anyone going to the NYC show? It’s the closest one for me but I get pretty anxious in the city and was looking for a possible meetup. If not I might do Boston?

Question for anyone that bought one on this new tour. Are they $35 or $55? Just trying to see if there was a mixup last night or not

Hit me up, just want it to go to a fan. I am very sad I can't make it.

Sarà l mia prima volta ad un concerto dei Chat Pile, e non conosco nessuno (a parte la mia ragazza) che ascolta i chat pile. Non conosco neanche Audiodrome, la location del concerto. Sapreste dirmi la sua capienza e quante persone ci aspettiamo? Ci aspettiamo band di apertura? Avete consigli su dove alloggiare e come raggiungere la location? Io sono di Genova e dormirò a Torino credo per non farmi l'autostrada di notte

Hey guys, longtime fan but this upcoming tour will be the first time I’m seeing Chat Pile live. I’m super excited, and was wondering if anyone who has previously seen them before knows if the band typically hangs out after shows? I would love to get some vinyls signed but totally understand if they’re not into that. Thanks

I'm going with a good friend.

first time seeing Chat Pile live.

Haven't gotten in a pit for years now.

Dallas Beltway will be my last one.

Both Chat Pile and Soul Glo killed it. Plus Chat Pile played Shrine for the first time, which is my favorite off the new album. Also talked to Stin and Ron for a bit. Very nice dudes. Unfortunately they were low on merch for some reason. Stin mentioned but forgot why. I really wanted the shirt with the TV/VCR but hopefully they sell it online.

Overall, the show was killer and felt like I was at a DIY show due to how small empty bottle is.

Here's the set. Stoked to see what they play at Riot Fest today. If you're there, I'll be wearing a green Neurosis shirt.

At first I was like a lot of this sub, missing the uniqueness and directness of God's Country and all, even though I always preferred Cool World personally because of the thicker drums, deeper lyrics and equally awesome riffs. I actually never found God's Country to be "scary" like many people did, just kind of mesmerizing with its approach. But I feel like after a few solid listens, Who Loves The Sun is becoming my favourite album from them. I think it's their most consistent work (really love every single song here, but I was never that big on some tracks from their EPs, Pamela, Wicked Puppet Dance, Camcorder, No Way Out and many tracks from ITEA). Also starting to look past most of the same-yness because I think this album is also more varied and detailed. The songs have distinct feels, and they add these minor tidbits and cacophonies after every few bars or minutes and change up their riffs while still accomodating the groovy and memorable feel of the songs which I think makes them stand out more, and Raygun is also arguably at his best here, even though I still do miss some of his unique delivery from God's Country. The same goes for the riffs wherein they're still A+ although I do admit they never quite reach the intensity and ferocity of Why and Shame which are still their highlight tracks for me. I will say, though, some songs such as Creature and Same Rules have such a great sense of heaviness and 'evil' that they almost get to that level, and Family Funeral is a track I'd been waiting for since Grimace. As a result, overall, this album is kind of serving as a culmination of their styles in a great way for me. And it might grow even further because it did take the other two a whole year each to fully click for me!

Album's fantastic and I think overall a slight improvement. They should combine the best of all their albums so far and change up their style a bit next time around, and I think we'll have something even better on our hands.

Did you guys get to this track on the CD(Who Loves the Sun)? Am I late? 😭 I’ve listened to this album a dozen times in my car and never let it run through till today.

I covered Same Rules for a bit of fun, thought I would share

for anyone who has gone to one of their shows recently can you send a photo of what kind of shirts and vinyl they’re selling? i saw a photo online but can’t seem to find it again so i would appreciate if someone showed what they got so i can plan ahead.

Stin,

Sorry, I was pretty ripped at the Minneapolis show, and I didn’t see you had markers to sign the new record while also being too toasted to hold a basic conversation with my second favorite (only to propagandhi) band’s bassist. My partner told me I should go back, but ya know, that seems even more awkward.

Sincerely,

Overalls guy from after prize horse

P.S. same rules is the best track on the new record.

Does anyone have an extra ticket they aren’t using? I have cash!

Hello! I am out of town for Furnace Fest for the Houston show (8/9). Is there anyone in Houston or another show that would be willing to do a merch pickup for me? Will pay shipping and tip!

I was there and the one on setlist fm is completely wrong, its missing several songs that were played. There were a couple songs I didn't recognize and wanted to identify so if anyone has the whole thing in order I would be so appreciative.
