Tickets are on sale now for Chat Pile & the HIRS Collective at the The Crossing Digbeth on Friday, 25 April 2025!💥🎟️
Rising from the DIY music scene of Oklahoma City in 2019, Chat Pile is a band dedicated to creating a raw and chaotic sound. The band comprises Raygun Busch on vocals, Luther Manhole on guitar, Stin on bass, and Captain Ron on drums.
Their dark, sludgy take on noise rock carves out a unique space within the underground music world, encapsulating the crushing intensity of Godflesh, the experimental edge of Sonic Youth, and the grotesque humour of The Jesus Lizard. Chat Pile will be performing songs from their new album Cool World, among other material. Like towering mounds of toxic waste, Cool World is a suffocating, grotesque embodiment of the existential anguish that has defined the 21st Century. It figures that a band with such an abrasive, unrelenting, and outlandish sound has struck as strong a chord as it has. Dread has replaced the American dream, and Chat Pile’s music is a poignant reminder of that shift – a portrait of an American rock band moulded by a society defined by its cold and cruel power systems. Chat Pile's arrival in Birmingham is highly anticipated. We can't wait to welcome them for the first time!
Support comes from HIRS Collective, who exist to fight for, defend, and celebrate the survival of trans, queer, POC, black, women and any and all other folks who have to constantly face violence, marginalisation, and oppression. Emerging from the leftist punk world, they prioritise community, collaboration, and radicalism. Known for their chaotic punk fury and socially conscious commentary, the collective's work holds a mirror to societal injustices, emphasising the power of true community and the importance of collaborative creativity.
