CKY: Gold Coast Two Piece, Atticus Chimps, Confirmed To Open All Shows This January.
CKY are the flag bearers for big, raw, authentic, earth-shaking rock liberated from useless pretence. They burned it all down, with a raucous, anarchic rock sound soaked in the skate-punk culture that birthed them; and a hard-partying lifestyle onstage and off that left decimated relationships and reputations in its wake.
Boasting a collection of killer rock anthems like 99 Quite Bitter Beings, Flesh Into Gear, Escape From Hellview and Familiar Realm, CKY’s music is a huge part of the infamous Jackass TV series as well as just about every skate and surf compilation of the era and covered by the likes of modern superstars, Polyphia, leaving a highly influential imprint on the current punk/alternate scene.
Following the infamous incident that forced the cancellation of their participation in the co-headline tour with Alien Ant Farm, the band are finally making their way to Australia in January for 3 very special shows.
Supporting them on all shows are Gold Coast, two piece Atticus Chimps. A rock & roll juggernaut, Atticus Chimps are bursting at the seam with passion and intensity, blending punk, grunge, hard rock, stoner rock, pop and the sounds that defined the ’90s and early ’00s. The band’s formation were largely influenced by a desire to hear the kind of music that they believe is absent in today’s modern rock landscape.
