The Chavs were formed through the friendship of 2 very special people - Tim Burgess & Carl Barat (Noodles & Max). It was drunkenly decided on a bus trip from LA to San Diego... So back in the UK, they were approached by the notorious Mr. Dean Fragile of the infamous Tap'n'Tin to play their first & supposedly ONLY show. The day of the gig - Carl ended up bringing along Andy Burrows (Razorlight) for back up & Tim brought along Mr. Martin Duffy (Primal Scream/Felt) for support & with a little less than half an hour rehearsal, they were on the 'stage' at the Tap'n'Tin in Dec. of 2004. That night The Chavs ended up supporting the Buff Medways (Billy Childish) - not too shabby for a first gig! As well as making it to the cover the NME. Since then they have decided to play/reform only once a year at the Tap'n'Tin in Chatham (www.tapntin.com). Yet, some upcoming goals/dreams include to record The Chavs, already written & rehearsed single: 'I Always Crack a Smile', to expand the lineup, and to hopefully one day play the Carnegie Hall! So, watch this space and long for The Chavs...
