New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Like the towering mounds of toxic waste from which it gets its namesake, the music of Oklahoma City noise rock quartet Chat Pile is a suffocating, grotesque embodiment of the existential anguish that has defined the 21st Century.
Between a dying planet, ever-increasing socio-economic disparity, and a general quality of life in a tailspin, one can't help but muster a chuckle at this self-destructive dumpster fire of reality. It's self-parody in its bleakest form and within that nihilism something undeniably alluring that four slacker okies would channel into a sound that has captivated the underground and beyond.
Last year, Chat Pile released their critically acclaimed debut full-length God's Country. The time since has been nothing short of a whirlwind; Chat Pile received countless year-end accolades, scored a film, played highly coveted sets at this year's Roadburn, Caterwaul, Oblivion
Access and ArctanGent festivals, and now have announced additional headline tour dates and support shows for
Baroness to close out 2023. Dates and details can be found below and tickets are available (west coast show tickets available Friday, 8/25).
Chat Pile comments, "We told everyone for the longest time that you'd probably never see Chat Pile on the road for any extended period of time. Well, turns out we had no idea what we were talking about. Sometimes miracles do happen, and sometimes they're kind of low-rent and inconsequential. We're looking forward to hanging out with our friends in Nerver, as well as the other extremely cool bands joining us on this run."
Formed in 2019, Chat Pile have made a profound impression since their start. Comprised of Raygun Busch (vocals), Luther Manhole (Guitar), Stin (Bass), and
Captain Ron (Drums), the noise-rock quartet released two E.P.'s followed by the benchmark God's Country LP in their first three years as a band.
In the last year alone, they scored the Tenkiller motion picture soundtrack, released a split E.P. with their friends in Nerver, and now continue their upward trajectory with this headline tour. See Chat Pile on the road and look for news as they continue to work on LP2.
