Jeremy Neale, Brisbane garage rock royalty and champion of ‘spy rock’, returns this April with the second single from his forthcoming EP.

Initially written as an anthem for a fictitious 60s girl group, Neale teamed up with Brisbane’s all-girl act Go Violets to create the infectious garage rock banger ‘In Stranger Times’.

‘In Stranger Times’ was premiered on triple j last night on Richard Kingsmill’s 2013 and can be streamed online today via the triple j Home & Hosed blog.

Jeremy Neale will launch ‘In Stranger Times’ across the east coast of Australia this May, kicking off in Melbourne on Thursday 2 May at The Workers Club, Sydney on Friday 3 May at The Beresford Hotel, and in Brisbane on Friday 10 May at The Alhambra Lounge.

Fear not for the cities that Jeremy can’t afford to visit this time around; he’ll be in Adelaide and Perth in July as support for Ball Park Music’s Thank Ewes Tour.

A 60s pop party reflective of the energy of his live show, the track follows from the successful ‘A Love Affair to Keep You There’ single which was championed by community radio and triple j and quickly becoming a fan favourite of spy rock enthusiasts everywhere.

‘In Stranger Times’ was recorded and mixed by Sean Cook at The Ark in Brisbane and was mastered by Steve Smart in Studios 301.

2013 has started most triumphantly for Jeremy Neale. He began the year having written the number 1 and number 4 songs in Brisbane 4ZZZ’s Hot 100, was chosen by triple j to play the Brisbane leg of Laneway Festival, and proceeded to tour to Adelaide, Sydney, Wollongong and Melbourne as main support for Gung Ho on their recent EP tour.

Jeremy Neale also fronts Brisbane garage rock act Velociraptor.
