SUPPORTS ARE ROLLER ONE & DJ MIKE MULHOLLAND
DRESS CODE: VALENTINE’S DAY, “FUNKY BUT CHIC”
‘’WE LOVE YOU - OF COURSE WE DO’’
SACRED COWBOYS are a moody hard rock band with a sly sense of humor. They started playing in murky Melbourne dive bars in 1982 attracting a rabid following. With the release of their iconic first single, Nothing Grows in Texas, they were catapulted to national TV notoriety on Countdown, Australia’s version of Top of the Pops. 2025 saw founders Garry Gray and Mark Ferrie enlist Timothy Deane, Anthony Paine and Damian Fitzgerald. You will soon be holding in your hands the new album, ‘In the Manifesto’.
‘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’ shows the Sacred Cowboys do not indulge in one musical style. It’s a complex, atmospheric soundtrack with Gray’s uber cool delivery over sometimes sparse, sometimes weaving guitars and rich harmonies. Channeling a Sonic Youth ethos and grinding the gears in the engine room of the Cosmos Factory, ‘In the Manifesto’ is as wide and expansive as the Australian desert skies.
The Sacred Cowboys have performed intense live shows and transported that energy and mood onto this new album, ‘In the Manifesto’. It’s all killer and a tour de force. Garnering the attention of Andrew McGee at Torn & Frayed Records, Australia and combining with French allies Seb Blanchais and Romain Michon at BEAST Records, France, the rest is about to become history.
Sacred Cowboys Launch 'In the Manifesto', their first new release since 2008. Supports are Roller One and DJ Mike Mulholland. Dress code Valentines Day, “funky but chic”.
WORLDWIDE DUAL RELEASE!
