Words and interview by Shannon-Lee Sloane, The Colourful Writer
Gold Coast rockers Chavez Cartel have been going from strength to strength lately with new music, some solid support slots, a record label signing, festival slots, a new EP and a UK tour!
Busy? We think so!
The band have recently released their latest track, Midnight Skies from their forthcoming EP Man’s Best Friend set for release on May 5. They recently supported English indie-rock band, The Reytons while they were in Australia. The band are working with the incredible team at On The Map PR and have signed to UK record label End of the Trail Creative.
Chavez Cartel have a natural and seductive swagger in their music, their style, their energy on stage and through their music and music videos. With a perfect balance of dark and light in their music, these guys have just got shit right and in a big fucking way.
This interview with HEAVY was done a few weeks ago and by now the guys would have just left to jet set over to the UK to play The Great Escape Festival among a run of other shows before they return to rock Brisbane at MoonDoll Festival on June 3 at the iconic Mansfield Tavern.
HEAVY had a chat with the frontman and ringleader of this hard-working, hard rocking four-piece band. Ben Simpson gives us a lot more detail about their busy year and what’s to come for this incredible outfit.
And if you’re not seeing them in the UK this month, we strongly suggest you catch them live and loud at MoonDoll Festival in Brisbane on Saturday, June 3, grab your tickets NOW! Ticket link HERE
