On tour in the UK right now, including at Wonk Fest today, Waco has shared a new song and video for the song "Barry Gibb Was My Landlord" from their upcoming third album, Rock Spirit Absolute Joy.
The wordy title of a new record is set to release on Sept. 2 on Venn Records.
In September, surrounding the album's release, the band hits the road again. Dates are listed below.
Speaking to the title of their latest sing, guitarist James Robinson offers, via statement: “‘Barry Gibb Was My Landlord’ is our ode to an icon. Barry isn’t just a great songwriter, he’s a pretty good landlord, too. When I lived in Manchester, he made sure the rent on the old Bee Gees childhood home was affordable for skint musicians. In a cruel, capitalist world that stifles any creativity it can’t commercialise, it's hard for artists just to stay alive. Barry is one of the good guys. Cheers mate. We’ve put you on the guest list.”
