Cabbage have today unveiled the new video for their current single Kevin, available now on Infectious Music. Co-starring cult Manchester busking band The Piccadilly Rats, the video was shot earlier this month in Piccadilly Gardens and directed by Dom Foster.
Premiered on Radio 1 by Huw Stephens, ‘Kevin’ is a re-recording of the lead track from their 2016 debut EP Le Chou. A fan favourite and Cabbage’s live set closer, Kevin was produced by James Skelly & Rich Turvey (Blossoms, She Drew The Gun) at Liverpool’s Parr Street Studios. ‘Kevin’ is the Manchester band’s first stand-alone single after a series of acclaimed EPs, the latest of which, August’s ‘The Extended Play Of Cruelty’, contained the BBC 6Music playlisted track Celebration Of A Disease.
Cabbage’s new label Infectious Music (Alt-J, Drenge, DMA’s) have re-pressed ‘Young, Dumb And Full Of…’, Cabbage’s debut long-player. Originally released for Record Store Day – and selling out immediately – Young, Dumb And Full Of…” compiles the Manchester band’s three four-track EP’s released in late 2016: ‘Uber Capitalist Death Trade’ (whose title track was playlisted by BBC 6Music), Necroflat In The Palace and Terrorist Synthesizer.
Cabbage recently completed ‘The Healing Brexit Towns Experiment Tour’, their third headline tour of 2017. The tour included a gig at ULU, the band’s fourth London headliner of 2018 following gigs at The Lexington, Dingwalls and The Scala. Look out for news of 2018 dates soon.
