Sure, musicians are cool – they make great art, and they’re usually pretty dope people off-stage too. But you know who’s way cooler than any musician? The pet of any musician.
It’s a medical fact that scene pets are the leading source of nature’s serotonin reserves. Enter: A Band’s Best Friend, one of the all-time greatest columns from the olden days of BLUNT (back when we were in print – remember magazines!?), groomed and re-trained for the modern day. This time around, we’ve been given the privilege to meet Charlie, the right-hand-man of LOSER frontman Tim Maxwell.
What’s your best friend’s name?
Charlie.
And what do you actually call them?
Chuck, Chuckaluck, Cholula.

Our love of food and being lazy.
What’s your favourite memory with your best friend?
At my 21st he was dressed in a dollar chain with sunnies. Seems cruel, but he was having a good time.
