MAN BITES GOD RELEASE "WIN AT ALL COSTS" SINGLE

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.
Their new album "The Popular Alternative" is out now through MGM.
