THE BIRD
WHO BIT
THE AMP

Before Cunning Max became the purple-mohawked face of $CHICKROCK, he was the smallest bird in a painfully quiet coop. He found an abandoned amp, pecked the power switch and heard distortion for the first time. Silence never recovered.

ACT I // THE ESCAPE

Max scratched a lightning bolt into the coop door, laced up two absurdly heavy boots and left before sunrise. The purple mohawk arrived after a backstage paint accident. He kept it.

ACT II // FIRST GIG

His first crowd was three pigeons, a broken vending machine and one confused sound engineer. By the final chord the pigeons were chanting CHICK-ROCK.

ACT III // CUNNING

Max never fights the loudest battle. He finds the side door, rewires the lights, steals the setlist and appears exactly when everybody thinks the show is over.

ACT IV // WALL OF NOISE

$CHICKROCK becomes the badge of the flock: memes, posters, mini-games, lore drops and the mysterious red drop sticker that keeps appearing uninvited.
