Next week, The Bon Scotts head into the final week or their ‘We Will All Die At The Hands Of CGI’ album tour, with the last two shows in Sydney and Maitland. The tour has already taken the Melbourne septet around the country, peaking with their near capacity album launch show at the Evelyn Hotel in Melbourne last weekend.

After a summer of festivals and touring, The Bon Scotts returned to the studio earlier this year to write and record their new album. The first single, ‘Polluted Sea’, is a quirky tune, driven by a catchy accordion line and propelled by toy piano, mandolin and sing along choruses. All perfectly accompanied by another themed Bon Scotts stop motion video.

Released in September, ‘Kids In Counterfeit’ is the second single from the album. Fueled with fever and charm, the song once again sees the band skillfully defying notions of plain, with an infectious blend of “youthful, unfiltered charm” (Mess and Noise).

Mixed by Tony Dupé (Holly Throsby, Grand Salvo), ‘We Will all Die at the Hands of C.G.I.’ extends on their joyously cynical approach to music, with a keen focus on playful lyrics, catchy choruses and rare instrumentation.

The Bon Scotts recently received the Arts Victoria: Victoria Rocks – Presentation & Promotion grant and more recently the Australia Council for the Arts New Work grant in order to create and release their follow-up album to their well received debut, ODDERNITY.

Released in August 2010, ODDERNITY garnered much support from punters and critical acclaim from industry types. The first single, ‘The Kids Are Coming’, received airplay on triple J and community radio nationally.

“It’s hard to put a finger on The Bon Scotts, there is no box quite big enough nor any genre so wide as to contain them.” (Neon Hearts)
