Revered Melbourne band Sacred Cowboys are back from a successful European tour with a handful of Victorian shows in November on the back of their “In The Manifesto” album..
Sacred Cowboys delivered a powerhouse performance at the Binic Folks Blues Festival in Binic-Étables-sur-Mer, France, in July, commanding the Plage de la Banche stage with raw intensity. Festival organizers and attendees hailed the Australian band's set as a magnificent, high-energy "claque d'amour" (translation: a loving slap to the senses).
Sacred Cowboys shot to national notoriety in 1982 as a fun and nihilistic jolt to the senses on national pop show Countdown.
The band was formed by lead singer-songwriter Garry Gray and bass-player Mark Ferrie who drew on their experiences in the OG punk and post-punk scene—Gray with proto-punk outfit Negatives and Ferrie with early line-ups of The Models.
Gray and Ferrie recruited Tim Deane, Anthony Paine and Damien FitzGerald last year and created “In the Manifesto”, released on Beast Records in France and Torn & Frayed in Australia in early 2026.
