'Popes 4 Cops 1' single launch. Also on bill: Chris Olley and Reipas

Our new double A sided download single ‘Popes 4 Cops 1’ (BLANG 26) is out this Monday 8^th March. The A side is a shorter version of ‘Here Come The Popes Part 4’ from ‘High Slang’. The AA side is ‘Here Come The Cops’ an instrumental remix by Oculus III (my remixing alias) dedicated to Vatican priest Cesare Burgazzi who led police on a high-speed car chase through Rome last October after being stopped in a red-light district. When caught after 20 minutes Burgazzi said ‘”You have no idea who I am. You don’t know who you’re messing with.”

There’s a review of the single at Sounds XP

We’re launching the single at the 12 Bar Club on Monday 8^th. Also on the bill are former Six By Seven frontman Chris Olley and Parisian duo Reipas.

“Popes 4 Cops 1” is a double A side single due in March. The A side is a shorter mix of “Here Come The Popes Part 4” and the AA side is “Here Come The Cops”, a remix of the track by Oculus III (Joe’s remix alias). The remix is a response to the recent news story of Vatican priest Cesare Burgazzi who led police on a high-speed car chase through Rome after being stopped in a red-light district.

It’s remixed in the style of a 70s TV cop show. The A side will be the last single from “High Slang”.
The band are rehearsing new songs and are planning 2 albums, one being the first part of the history of the Catholic Church and the other being Pope-free.
