Is there anyone cooler in the Australian music industry than Tex Perkins? If there was any doubt, the release of his latest double A-side single with The Fat Rubber Band should put an end to the argument.
First up we’ve got a cover of Allen Toussaint’s “Everything I Do Gonna Be Funky (From Now On)” which is every bit as funky as it sounds. The next track, a rendition of Bobby Charles’ “I Must Be In a Good Place Now” is a total 180, showing Tex and his band’s softer side.
The new music is a sign of things to come, with the band confirming these are two tracks that helped shape the direction of their forthcoming album. Hear a little more when Tex Perkins and The Fat Rubber Band launch the single at Hotel Westwood in Melbourne on May 23.
