The Chats I’m on Smoko Live Montreal May 2022

[@timburdsey]

Those are the gentlest and politest stage-dives I have ever seen!

It’s literally a case of ‘how quick over tempo are they playing it today?’😂

[@tmccormick892]

I saw them I think on this exact tour and it was like they were speedrunning a headliner set

[@DC-yl4vc]

Its called punk music

[@tig_229]

@@DC-yl4vc didn’t say it were a bad thing

I personally love this song fast! Makes for a “moshier” crowd. Pretty sure that’s what they’re aiming for.

[@snuscaboose1942]

This is like seeing bands in the late 80's and 90's in Australia, good solid working-class punk, no crowd barriers, stage diving (the Canadians seem a little weak here), some crowd surfing, mosh pit and an awesome time.

1:43. You’re very welcome

[@honestlynate7922]

I hope they keep touring. I saw them this year with the Bronx, scowl and drug Church in Boston. I'm really hoping that Mike contacts these guys and brings them on tour next year for punkin drublic these guys would be perfect

[@jimjay584]

I saw that them with the Bronx also.. they are coming back to Montreal in October I believe .

“Perched atop his milk crayte thrown” Fucking love this band. Need them in Vegas

[@TheGibby3340]

Are the Chats morphing into the Dead Kennedy’s?

[@alanstrom2221]

Even Dead Kennedys didn't play that fast.

[@thickhazepromo]

Looks like a good time

[@daves_not_here_mannn]

Not the same without pricey

[@honestlynate7922]

Not the same but still awesome

Yeah, I've gotta say that was played way too fast. I know it's a PUNK gig etc, blah, blah, blah, whatever. The song loses all its personality, charm and soul, if it's played that fast. Yes, PUNK can possess personality, charm and soul, I know a little something about PUNK, as I played Drums in a few Bands back in the day. I'm 62 now and remember the first times I witnessed The Ramones, The Sex Pistols etc. As a young teenager in the 70's, I saw The Saints and Radio Birdman and Bon Scott's AC/DC at free underage gigs in Sydney, thanks to Radio Station jj 1540 am. They all played at a speed that you could still recognise the tune. They sounded like the recorded studio versions, only slightly faster and more energy because it was a LIVE gig. Emphasis on the 'slightly' faster. Can somebody tell The Chats to slow it down so we can feel the natural beauty of the songs.
