The View From Here #33: Pat Chow

The View From Here returns for a sixth season on RTRFM, with 12 monthly instalments featuring some of our favourite local artists in iconic and unexpected locations across WA.

This season kicks off with the fun and ferocious trio Pat Chow playing a wild four-song set in the amazing surrounds of one of the city’s finest fine-dining restaurants, Wildflower at The Como. Their audience: the chefs preparing for the evening’s dinner rush.

Though their music is quick and rough in all the best ways, Pat Chow seems perfectly at home at Wildflower, running through such faves as “Martyrdom”,
“That’s It”, “It Won’t Go” and “Bad Thoughts”.

The juxtaposition of a band you normally find on stage at The Bird or Mojos now suddenly in the dining room of a three Chef Hat restaurant is something to behold-and the same goes for every special pairing of act and setting throughout The View From Here’s sixth season.

For now though, let Pat Chow’s raucous tunes, thoughtful lyrics and beguiling presence draw you into their world. Bon appétit.
