"Chatty Cathy then took the stage for the first time in a year, from what I gathered. With an album release up soon, they were eager and energetic and sounded remarkably polished. A 3-piece band led by Kortland Chase on guitar and vocals, their artful use of echo and their intricate song structures make them sound much larger. Falling somewhere on the spectrum between the Silversun Pickups and the jazz-informed prog inclinations of a Coheed and Cambria, they can go from a whisper to a shout at a moment's notice, big power chords broken up by dense, liquid arpeggios. Though reliant on effects, they are all three excellent musicians with very involved songs, building tension (and a subsequent release) with ease. After a brief guitar problem and its replacement (helped by Dranger of Silhavey), the songs lost some of their distorted bite – for technical reasons – and took on the shimmering echo, further entrenching their set in complex, Radiohead-like numbers. Chase is capable of hard rock wails and of a distinct, clear falsetto, and he used both to great effect as the front rows engaged in some light moshing. Bombastic but undoubtedly interesting, look for more from this outfit soon."
