The Red Eyes - I Get Wild / Wild Gravity

In anticipation of the release of a blockbuster 2nd studio album due out May 2010 accompanied by a massive national tour, The Red Eyes are unleashing a taster from the album with their new single I Get Wild / Wild Gravity.
This is a first time cover recording for The Red Eyes who are known for their large repertoir of original material, including the anthem Highplace which was recently nominated in the shortlist for the 2009 Triple J Hottest 100.
Nonetheless, I Get Wild / Wild Gravity – a B-side track from the Talking Heads’ 1983 album Speaking in Tongues – was an easy choice for the band who count Talking Heads as up among the top of their varied list of musical influences. The tempo and style of the track lends itself to the Dub/Reggae groove of The Red Eyes and the song has quickly become a crowd pleaser in their massive live show.
‘The Red Eyes’ fan base flock to hear the Melbourne outfit’s party dub sound.’ (Rolling Stone Australia, April 2007) ‘…such is the power of top-shelf dub. True to the spirit and messages of the music’s long history, the Red Eyes are breathing new life into dub in Australia and are doing it with soul and authenticity.’ (In The Mix) ‘Say what you like about John Butler, he has backed an absolute winner in the form of the Red-Eyes…’ (Beat Magazine)
