CHAT PILE x Caterwaul 2023


CHAT PILE joins Caterwaul 2023 lineup

The organizers of Caterwaul 2023 proudly announce the addition of Chat Pile, returning to the festival for the second time.

Chat Pile bassist Stin states: "We’re truly excited to bring our particular brand of trash can music to the noise rock freaks of Caterwaul for the second year in a row. We can’t wait to get to hang with our friends from far and wide while getting to witness the many killer, legendary bands on the lineup!”

Chat Pile's 2022 full-length, God's Country, was one of the year's most talked-about albums, putting forth a harrowing, metallic version of noise rock that cut to the bone. Pitchfork's review of the album called it "terrifying and thrilling in equal measure... a vivid rendering of the towering piles of poison littering America’s psychic landscape." The Oklahoma City band's latest release, Brothers in Christ, is a split EP with Kansas City's Nerver, who are also on the Caterwaul 2023 lineup.

Now in its second year, Caterwaul is an annual fest, located in Minneapolis, Minnesota, celebrating noise rock in all its forms. Caterwaul 2023 is a 4-day affair, May 26-29th, with stages at two revered Minneapolis venues: Palmer's and Mortimer's.

In addition to Chat Pile and Nerver, this year's highlights include: Bay Area punk legends Flipper (with Cows frontman Shannon Selberg on vocals), Texas noise rock royalty Cherubs, the US debut of Ireland's Hands Up Who Wants To Die, and a litany of other greats, including Child Bite, Djunah, Elephant Rifle, Multicult, Nerver, The Tunnel, Tongue Party, USA Nails, Vaz, and more. 

In planning their routes, to and from the fest, many of the Caterwaul artists have joined forces and teamed up to create exciting package tours, thereby spreading the spirit of Caterwaul all across the nation – a phenomenon the fest organizers have dubbed "Caterwaul Run."
