From one viral song to an invitation at CoachellaSt Teresa's 2016 graduates, Eamon Sandwith, Matt Boggis and Josh Price loved music throughout high school. After completing Year 12 they continued with their school band named "The Chats," practicing in a garage in Verrierdale and they began making their own film clips. In late 2017, their lives changed when their song "Smoko" went viral. They struck a chord in the Australian music scene that has continued to embrace these young men. Their "Smoko" video has now has over 14 million views. Recently they opened a concert in Melbourne for Iggy Pop to rave reviews, and they've been interviewed on MTV and several radio stations. Their tour schedule is fully booked as they travel around Australia and overseas. They have already toured the UK and Europe and later this year head back to Europe and the US. The boys have signed a 2-year contract with Universal Music and have also started their own record label, Bargain Bin Records. In 2021, they were all set to perform at Coachella until COVID-19 intervened. Whilst their music may not be everyone's cup of tea, they have certainly made an impact, and they continue to Dare the Dream.
