Cooking Vinyl has today announced a deal with The Chats and their label Bargain Bin Records

"We set up Bargain Bin records to be a place where we could put out our own records, and our mates records without some donkey telling us how to do it," said The Chats. 

"Now we can do that and make sure it gets in stores across the planet. We look forward to buying jet skis, caviar, and Bundy Rum by the palette thanks to this new partnership."


"Signing The Chats to a massive worldwide deal AND partnering up on Bargain Bin Records... What could possibly go wrong?" said Cooking Vinyl Australia co-managing director, Leigh Gruppetta.

"I don't remember what happened that night but fuck, this is costing us a lot of money," added Cooking Vinyl Australia co-managing director Stu Harvey.

It's been a huge two years since the Sunshine Coast group dropped their viral hit Smoko, which has seen them sell-out shows in UK and at home, and pick up fans like Dave Grohl, The Arctic Monkeys, Josh Homme and more. 

They'll be joining festivals like Lost Paradise, Party In The Paddock and Laneway over the summer, head to theGuide for all the info.
