Following the release of Best Friend earlier this year, West Australian indie-rock favourites Great Gable have today shared another anthemic slice of summer-soaked rock with Think Again, Motherf*cker via Warner Music Australia.
Produced by Perth’s Dave Parkin (Spacey Jane, Jebediah), Think Again, Motherf*cker continues the impressive growth as they build a discography full of festival-ready hooks ready to soundtrack a year-long summer.
“Even before writing the lyrics, I’d already named the track ‘Think Again, Motherfucker’. I stumbled across an old demo that wasn’t anything special but the beat was killer. So I said to myself, ‘think again motherfucker'” says lead vocalist Alex Whiteman of the track.
May and June will see Great Gable head to the UK and EU for a massive 15 date headline tour which will see them joined by Death By Denim, Ryan Edmond and Matija. This UK/EU trip follows a New Zealand headline tour, and dates with Summersalt Festival in Hobart and Bribie Island earlier this year.
2023 saw Great Gable – made up of Alex Whiteman (vocals), Matt Preen (guitar), Christopher Bye (bass), and newly joined Madi Hanley (drums), release their EP ‘Read The Room’. Featuring the singles So Cool and Pumpernickel, the bold collection of songs hinted at a live focus which was complemented by a sold out national tour run supporting Matt Corby as well as an extensive headline tour. The EP followed their 2022 sophomore record ‘On The Wall In The Morning Light’ which was spearheaded by the hugely successful singles such as Hazy, and the exhilarating Dancing Shoes.
It’s been a steady and relentless rise for the Great Gable who began jamming together after meeting at university in Perth. Alex and Matt were childhood friends, drawn together with a mutual love of artists like Jack Johnson, Bon Iver, Noah And The Whale, and The Kooks. It didn’t take the four of them long to gain attention: early EPs like 2016’s ‘GG’, 2017’s ‘Modern Interactions’, and 2019’s ‘Lazy Bones Tapes’ brilliantly collided early 2000s NYC rock and UK indie, with a fair whack of Australian summer thrown in there for good measure.
By the time their debut album ‘Tracing Faces’ arrived in 2020, Great Gable had already amassed millions of streams. They went on to grace the stages of festivals like Groovin The Moo and Falls Festival, and notch up a stack of enviable support slots with the likes of The Jungle Giants, Thelma Plum, and Ocean Alley.
Best Friend and Think Again, Motherf*cker are just the first tastes of more new music to come from Great Gable in 2024. Stay tuned!
