MAN BITES GOD - "ROCK 'N ROLL LIFESTYLE"
12/07/06
Man
Bites God celebrate their forthcoming Melbourne
residency and Australian Tour by releasing "Rock n'
Roll Lifestyle" - the fourth single from their
critically acclaimed album, "The Popular
Alternative".
"Rock n' Roll Lifestyle" has already received international airplay on US College radio and several high profile international podcasters. The song was recently chosen to open the "Daily Source Code" Podcast, one of the most popular independent music Podcasts in the world. With so many people already playing the tune, Man Bites God decided to release it as an official single.
"Rock n' Roll Lifestyle" is a fun, upbeat, surfer-rock track that mercilessly attacks those rock-stars who are constantly bemoaning
their own fame, success and good fortune. With its hooky bass line and cheesy organ, the song seeks to put fame in perspective.
Previous singles from Man Bites God's "The Popular Alternative" include the dark pop ballad "Cubby House", "Bride of the Dragon" with guest vocals by Deborah Conway, and "Win At All Costs" - Man Bites God's controversial anti-Commonwealth Games Anthem.
Man Bites God are returning to the studio in October to begin work on their third full-length album. They are also playing a free Friday Night August residency at Plan B in Lygon Street to rehearse and decide on new material, as well as performing several songs from "The Popular Alternative" and their self-titled debut album. After that the band head to Queensland and NSW.
Their album "The Popular Alternative" is out now through MGM.

MAN BITES GOD RELEASE "WIN AT ALL COSTS" SINGLE
06/03/06
Man
Bites God are fed up to the gills with:
a) Australia pretending that winning a bunch of medals in the Commonwealth Games is any kind of achievement
b) The continual lionizing, promotion and funding of dumb athletes at the expense of education, health and housing
c) The pimping out of our hometown of Melbourne for this tacky, gaudy celebration of weird pointless sports and corrupt officials
...so we did something about it.
Man Bites God have released a special Commonwealth Games Anti- Anthem called "Win At All Costs". The song is a mock-heroic rock ballad that revels in the real values espoused by modern competitive sports: aggression, banality, greed and copious drug taking. This should be the song played at the opening ceremony of the Commonwealth Games, but it won't be so you should play it on the radio instead. Let's fight the powers that be with satirical rock.
The song is the third single from the Man Bites God album, "The Popular Alternative". The album was released last year and supported by a national tour, where it received acclaim from fans and critics alike. The first two singles, "Cubby House" and "Bride of the Dragon" (featuring Deborah Conway on lead vocals) have received good radio airplay, and film-clips for the two songs are about to be released.
Man Bites God are currently preparing for a four show season at the
Adelaide Fringe, and will then return to Melbourne to play two dates at Pony on Wednesday 26th of April and Wednesday 3rd of March.
Man Bites God are also about to release free downloadable Podcasts of their rehearsals, including their music, banter and childish infighting.
