This week we talk to Eamon from The Chats about how their first single, “Smoko”, went viral, what it was like opening for Guns N’ Roses on their recent stadium tour, how he went from washing dishes at Splendour in the Grass to playing main stage just a few years later, and why he started playing in bands (was it just to get underage beers?).
