Last week we wrote about singer/ songwriter/ local legend Peter Bibby’s new single ‘Hates My Boozin”. As our writer described, the single is “a beer-soaked, jangly guitar ballad that draws parallels to Courtney Barnett’s charming songwriting with an undeniable Dylanesque feel.

Bibby explains the meaning behind the song: “One time I was really drunk, for the thousandth time, and my girlfriend got really upset at me and told me I need to stop drinking or else she would leave me. I haven’t seen her in a few years. Then another time, the same thing happened with a different girl. She’s gone too… I started thinking about all the other women in my life who have given me a hard time for being a trashy booze hound so I sat down at the type writer and shat out this song. I had already been strumming the chords as I drove across the Nullabor with a couple of good mates a few days earlier and it all slotted in nicely. It’s a representation of my horrible stubbornness.

Though a stubborn booze tragic he may be, Bibby has still written a killer single, and even gotten it together enough to write an entire album, titled Butcher / Hairstylist / Beautician, it’s out November 14 on Spinning Top Records.

Filmed / Directed / Edited by Tahlia Isabel Palmer, Designed by Bek Bibby, and starring a heap of his friends the video is out today! Check it.
