THREE PIECE, DRUMS AND TWO GUITARS, OVERLAPPING VOCALS, JUST ABOUT DEFINED A TIME IN BRISBANE. GOT KNOWN WHILE KEEPING IT REAL AT HOME. THAT WAS A LITTLE WHILE BACK THOUGH!
Now they’re back.
YEAH THEY’RE BACK!
Have they changed?
MUCH THE SAME! THAT TRIANGULAR DRUMBEAT, STRAINED SINGING, TWIN GUITARS! TAKES US BACK! BUT THERE’S MORE!
You say there’s more?
YEAH THERE’S MORE!

IT COULD JUST BE SEEING THEM IN A SWISH VENUE.
Sure. New stuff?
YEAH!
Lemme hear it.

Still with the chants?
THE CHANTS! THE CHANTS!
Well alright. Now Chain and the Gang, they’re all about that call and response. Are you ready?
