Sacred Cowboys shot to national notoriety in 1982 as a fun nihilistic jolt to the senses on national pop show Countdown. Their albums have been released in Europe and Australia ever since. Founding members Garry Gray and Mark Ferrie recruited Tim Deane, Anthony Paine and Damien FitzGerald last year and created ‘In the Manifesto’, released on Beast Records France and Torn & Frayed Australia in early 2026. They have just returned from Europe.Garry Gray and the Sacred Cowboys delivered a powerhouse performance at the Binic Folks Blues Festival (held July 2026, in Binic-Étables-sur-Mer, France), 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” (a loving slap to the senses), echoing the gritty, soulful swagger that Beast Records champions.
”The group delivered trademark 80s-rooted punk-blues energy that felt as vital and shar pas ever by the sea. But you also get that these guys transcend where they started and where they have been and via their new album ‘In the Manifesto’ and take us with them today and tomorrow on their wild musical ride.”
Whether in the studio or live Sacred Cowboys performances are studded with highlights!
