Now comprising co-founders Garry Gray and Mark Ferrie with Timothy Deane, Anthony Paine and Damian Fitzgerald, they will launch the album at the Tote in Melbourne on February 14. Supports are Roller One and DJ Mike Mulholland. Dress code is Valentines Day" “funky but chic”.
Garry Gray says of the singte: "Our heroes are cosmic circus escapees shunted through time and space from the dead desert sands of 1980s Texas and dispatched into the gritty city scape of an alien world – or are they just returning home to a dystopian future?"
‘In the Manifesto’ was mastered by Mikey Young, who worked on the last six Mark Lanegan records and plays in Eddie Current Suppression Ring. All new songs are written by Garry and the band. "In the Manifesto" is said to be "a complex, atmospheric soundtrack with Gray’s uber cool delivery over sometimes sparse, sometimes weaving guitars and rich harmonies. Think a Sonic Youth ethos and grinding the gears in the engine room of the Cosmos Factory".
