Children Collide are back in full force with a brand new single ‘SWORD TO A GUNFIGHT” unleashed on radio, internet and TV today, Monday 16 January. In true Collide fashion, the band will embark on a tour across the country in March/April giving audiences their first taste of the new album.
Frontman Johnny Mackay says of the new single: “I was paddling down the river somewhere between Primal Scream & Boney M and ended up falling out of the boat into a time-travelling disco space-punk song which I still think is hilarious.”
Late 2011, the band locked themselves away in Melbourne’s Red Door Sounds with Woody Annison (Red Riders, Cabins, Young Revelry and who also co-produced their sophomore album) to record their third album ‘MONUMENT’.
‘MONUMENT’ is the follow up album to the ARIA nominated Top 5 album ‘Theory Of Everything’ which spawned the singles JELLYLEGS (reached #22 in The Triple J Hottest 100) and LOVELESS, which was accompanied by a world class music video directed by the multi-award winning director David Michôd (Animal Kingdom) and also Nominated for an ARIA Award.
Johnny reveals of the sounds to come; "There's post-punk still, there's sort of Krauty-psych influence in a lot of it. It gets a bit dancey…"
Children Collide will go on their Sword to a Gunfight Tour, hitting Adelaide on Thursday March 29 at The Gov. Tickets go on sale Thursday 2 February from Oztix, Moshtix and Venuetix.
