Everyone's favourite shed-dwelling Oz-punks THE CHATS have unveiled a new video from their forthcoming album.
'I’ve Been Drunk In Every Pub In Brisbane’, is a celebration of the licensed establishments of the Queensland capital, bassist/singer Eamon Sandwith's new home city. It's taken from the band's newly recorded second album Get Fucked, which is due out in August.
“Brisbane is quite a bit hotter than the rest of the country,” says Sandwith. "So it's one of those places where it's more acceptable to start drinking earlier. I reckon there would be 900 or so pubs that you would have to hit, and I have actually been to a good chunk of them, but if you were go to all of them, it would be hard to even remember which ones you'd been to, and which ones you hadn't, especially if you'd got fucking pissed.”
