   About Dead Popes of the Vatican
The gods of muse smiled favourably when this quartet of well known Adelaide musicians decided to unite under one banner in the name of rock’n’roll – mixing a debauched cocktail of equal parts attitude, urgency, desperation and shit on the liver.

Featuring current and ex members of some of Adelaide’s most respected rock acts (The Gels, Muscle Car, Blow Up Betty, Angelik), it took more than pedigree to gain the boot-stomping approval of a music loving city blessed with a weekly overflow of gigs – both local and visiting interstaters. Armed with a set of original guitar driven, no-holds-barred tunes, yet with enough hook and melody to capture the attention of all walks of rock listenership, the Dead Popes of the Vatican quickly established an attentive following.

Having racked up nearly 50 scorching performances in a relatively short while, a thirsty and expectant audience demanded (and now receives) the ‘Popes much anticipated EP It’s A Long Way To The Vatican If You Wanna Be The Pope.

Featuring four fist-raising anthems transgressing one’s own wonderment at (continuing?) mental stability, criminal intent and a poke at some artists self indulgence, this (mostly) live-in-the-studio offering is as important as it contagious; urgent as it is honest.

THE HUMANS PLAY MAY 23 @ THE ENIGMA TOP ROOM WITH SPECIAL GUESTS

THE DREADED + SMILE ISLAND.


Tickets $12 + Booking Fee from VenueTix or $15 @ The Door!

Thanx to everyone that came along to the HQ Show with Glenn Hughes & Electric Mary. It was an awesome night and Glenn Hughes did not dissapoint.


For all that attended, Adelaide saw one of the most talented & natural musicians on Planet Earth. And Electric Mary from Melbourne put on a powerhouse set of classic aussie rock. If you havent seen Electric Mary, do yourself a favour, they are one of the very few tight, kick ass bands touring Oz at the minute....Killer band!

I know we've said it before, but this will be our last show for a while as we put the finishing touches to the debut album. To be released towards the end of the year.
Seeya real soon!

Thanx & Krank It Up!
