London based garage rock trio Black Manila are releasing their new single Shake That Thing b/w Hoverfly on April 1st. Lo-fi and slightly psychedelic they mix West Cast sixties rock, with a hint of the Velvets and The Stooges. The Kingsmen have reincarnated as London trio, spelling fun in capital letters.
A-side Shake That Thing is the kind of song that would have been played to death at your local pub, a jukebox classic eating all your change. Hoverfly can be added to that extremely short list of cool songs about insects.
Black Manila:
Conrad Armstrong: vocals, bass
Liam Ramsden: vocals, drums
Gareth Hoskins: vocals, guitar
Shake That Thing b/w Hoverfly is released on RIP Records (digital and 7").
