In support of album number two, Tales, Melbourne band The Peep Tempel has lined up a few dates. The now-trio formed as a two-piece in 2009 and released a couple of 7” singles before recording their debut as a three-piece. The new album, which was recorded above a bar in West Melbourne (kudos for the rock ’n’ roll way), is due for release at the beginning of next month. From the band: “We wanted the record to have an element of ick, to make you smile, but not without leaving a film across your teeth. It’s misogynistic, voyeuristic, racist, bigoted, over-financed, drunk in Bali, pissing in its own mouth, boat-stopping mayhem.” The Bridge, Castlemaine – October 10 & The Eastern, Ballarat – October 11.
