The Chats: Rock Band in New York

About The Chats

The Chats are an Australian punk trio formed in 2016 on Queensland’s Sunshine Coast, anchored by vocalist/bassist Eamon Sandwith with guitarist Josh Hardy and drummer Matt Boggis. They frame their stripped-back sound as “shed rock,” with songs that document everyday Australian routines and rough humor. Early visibility came through viral tracks like “Smoko,” followed by releases including *High Risk Behaviour* and *Get Fucked*. In New York City they bring that blunt, fast set to Brooklyn Paramount, sharing bills linked to acts like The Hives and Social Distortion.
