The Chats are a pub-punk shed-rock band from Queensland, Australia. They began playing together in high school, releasing their debut self titled EP a month away from graduating. About nine months out of high school, The Chats went back into the studio to record their follow up EP, “Get This In Ya”. The second EP sat online for half a year until the band had a viral hit with the music video for their song “Smoko”, which racked in millions of views on Youtube in a couple of days. Since then, The Chats have become notorious for their loud and chaotic live shows and their zero fucks attitude. The Chats have sold out shows in Australia, New Zealand, England, Scotland, and Europe. They’ve toured with Australian punk legends Cosmic Psychos, US rock heavyweights Queens of the Stone Age, and fellow pisswrecks Pist Idiots. With a debut album in the works, as well as national and international tours, The Chats aren’t showing any signs of slowing down soon.

Gymshorts
GYMSHORTS is a high-energy 5 Michelin star, prize-blue-ribbon award winning band, burped up and spit out by providence-based writer and musician Sarah Greenwell. Greenwell formed the band in 2012 which is coincidentally the same year the original members of legendary rock band the Beach Boys reunited for their 50th anniversary reunion tour. After fiercely touring the US for a few years in her 2002 Honda CR-V™️, GYMSHORTS released their debut album “No Backsies!” on cassette, which has appeared in the same record shop alongside legendary punks The Ramones, Bikini Kill, and Nirvana. In 2016, the band made their Las Vegas debut at a neighborhood bar that Tony Hawk was spotted at. Greenwell has taken a full handful of group photos with famous celebrity musicians and was once overhead saying “that was awesome!” to a distracted Debbie Harry as she was getting off the stage at Bumbershoot festival in Seattle. In 2018, the name GYMSHORTS was mentioned in Rolling Stone Magazine in at least 12 point font or larger as part of an article about a band they were preparing to support on tour. Just this last fourth of July, Jerry Only from the original misfits sent a personal text to Greenwell’s cellphone as a favor to a close mutual family friend. Greenwell shares the same birthday with country legend Dolly Parton and Rock star Janis Joplin.
