The Chutes EP Launch @ The Zoo, Brisbane – 8 July 2011 – Gig News

  After a few years together, a change of line up, an east coast tour and multiple trips to the studio, The Chutes are ready to launch a new sound. On July 8 at The Zoo, the band will release their second self-produced E.P, A Word to the Wolves.

After releasing their first E.P in mid-2009, The Chutes quickly established themselves as a powerful, rock-driven group whose repertoire not only conveyed a true confidence in music ability, but also ‘put bums on seats’. In the year following, The Chutes sold out their two headlining shows at Brisbane’s premier live venue, The Zoo.

Their new release, recorded only 4 weeks after a change of drummer, diverges from the rock and blues flavour of their

first E.P. While still holding onto some of the same sounds, The Chutes‘ new E.P draws on elements from progressive, experimental, and electronic genres.

If A Word to the Wolves tells us one thing, it’s that The Chutes are more certain of themselves and are ready to stake a claim on their own sound.

The Chutes play The Zoo on Friday, July 8 with special guests Jac Stone, Massai, and Man on Moon.
