'Popes 4 Cops 1 single launch
Thursday, 04 March 2010
Our
new double A sided download single ‘Popes 4 Cops 1’ (BLANG 26) is out this
Monday 8th 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.”
We’re
playing with guest bassist Stuffy, AKA solo artist Stephen Evens, ex-singing
drummer in Stuffy/The Fuses and ex-drummer with Graham Coxon. Stuffy is also
joining us for a BBC 6Music (God save them) live session on Tom Robinson’s show
on Friday March 26th.
I’m
also playing solo at a night I’ve arranged at the Elixir Bar on Eversholt
Street, near Mornington Crescent tube, on Wednesday March 10th, I’m
on early at 8 and am followed by my guests Lucy’s Diary, Reipas, Kinkajou and
Corporal Machine and the Bombers.
This
is the last single from High Slang and then we’ll be releasing new stuff.

Popes 4 Cops 1 single
Sunday, 22 November 2009
“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.
