The Peep Tempel announce second album Tales and national tour dates
There's no better time than now to celebrate dumb Australia. Morally disassociated, reality TV style politics. $7 chips at the footy. The great Australian dream, a 35-year mortgage on a home that will be in the advanced stages of dilapidation in just 25. We could go on, but fuck it. The Peep Tempel’s Tales is modern Oz and a collection of its inhabitants, brought to life with lowbrow sarcasm, loud guitars and generous sprinkle of cheese.
The Peep Tempel will release their second album Tales this October through their imprint Wing Sing Records on 3rd Oct. Written upstairs above a bar in windy West Melbourne, the three piece have explored some new territory on their second effort. The band’s humour is still intact, though possibly darker. The album spits and snarls with distinctly Australian panache, but urges you to dance and drown yourself in its grotty, boisterous rock’n’roll.
“We wanted the record to have an element of ick”, the band explain, “To make you smile, but not without leaving a film across your teeth. It’s misogynistic, voyeuristic, racist, bigoted, over financed, drunk in Bali, pissing in it’s own mouth, boat stopping mayhem!”
The Peel Tempel formed as a two-piece in 2009. They recorded and release two 7” singles before praise for their live shows started piling up. Adjectives “raw”, “frenetic” and “unyielding” have been piffed at the band, fuelling continued laps of the country.
The Peep Tempel recorded their first album as a three-piece in 2011 and the debut snuck up on an unsuspecting public. “Disco punk, dance punk, punk, rock n roll, garage…whatever you wanna call it, this rules” Triple J’s Zan Rowe declared, while The Australian was similarly impressed; “Very near to rock and roll perfection”.
