WAM Festival Artist Profile: Pat Chow

Answered by: Ben Protasiewicz, guitar/vocals

Short description of your band and music: Pat Chow do that early 2000s alternative shit. We're a three-piece feed of grungy goodness.

Best WAM-related story? I remember one WAM where Elle Walsh came out as transgender. That was pretty special.

What do you think separates the WA music scene apart from the rest of the country? I think the Perth scene feel they need to compensate for being on the far side of Aus so we end up with a lot of great musicians and bands.

What WA bands are you vibing on right and why? Dianas are great, they sing like angels and you can dance to the tunes. Verge Collection are cool.

Why should people come and see you from amongst the many cool bands at WAM? Come see Pat Chow 'cause we'll have Ethan of Tired Lion fame filling in on drums this WAM.

What's on the horizon for you? We got a tour coming up, an Xmas special song and then gigs, gigs, gigs.

WAM Festival performance: Sunday 8 Nov, Newport Hotel
