It seemed like a matter of time…
In a world where musicians are exploiting every avenue to try and make some extra coin, there are bound to be some hits and misses. We’ve seen the success in the form of Post Malone’s Crocs (not his actual kicks, a collab) which sold out in hours, or Sydney avant-garde pop outfit Baby Beef’s relish, and then we’ve also seen the ill-fated Dune Rats Doritos combo that was about as popular as a soggy chicken crimpy. Now we have the latest muso endorsement proposal and we reckon it’s a bloody winner – The Chats’ Goon by Built To Spill Wine.
According to BTSW’s website, the wine has been quality-controlled by Chats frontman Eamon Sandwith who has gone on the record to say “It’s fucken good.” Apparently that means, it’s a “white goon made with a bunch of all-natural happy grapes chucked together, fermented wild and bugger all other stuff added except for a bit of sulfur just to Keep the Grubs Out.”
If you’re thinking the artwork on the box looks a little familiar, you’re spot on – it’s by meme lord/larrikin Struthless, so this also represents a great opportunity to hang some of his art on your wall (or clothesline)… It’s shipping Australia wide right now, including a tea-towel pack for the domestic gods/goddesses out there – head here to wrap your laughing gear round it!
We also have it on good word that Built To Spill Wine, which is the brainchild of Crow Bar and UNIFIED Music Grop have a whole heap of tasty collabs on the way soon. Stay tuned!
