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.
