Two of the best underground record labels around, Poland’s Heavy Medication and Spanish imprint Ghost Highway Recordings, are bringing Handsome Dick Manitoba back to the vinyl racks next month.
“Back To Broadway” is an EP by the former singer of the Dictators on Heavy Medication and Ghost Highway. It has a May 9 street date and features four tunes on a seven-inch platter.
Originals “Back on Broadway" and "DeLuise Nation” are matched with a brace of recent HDM solo band live recordings: The Dictators' "Savage Beat" and "The Party Starts Now!", a classic from the great ‘Tators spin-off, Manitoba's Wild Kingdom.
You can hear the title track and pre-order the EP here and, yes, there is more than a passing resemblance to Dictators circa the “DFFD” album (which will be a relief if you heard The Handsome One's 2019 solo record, "Born In The Bronx" which was well intentioned but missed the mark.)
Manitoba and band - which includes Streetwalkin’ Cheetah Frank Meyer on guitar - has wrapped up a run of US Midwest dates and is heading to Scandinavia for more shows.
