Ron Peno will perform with Black Cab at the launch of their third album Call Signs at the Esplanade Hotel in Melbourne on August 29. The legendary Died Pretty frontman, who lends his considerable pipes to album track ‘Ghost Anthems’, recently appeared with Black Cab (sans hat) at the Northcote Social Club in July.

Out now through Sydney label Laughing Outlaw, Call Signs is loosely inspired by the state-sponsored climate of fear that pervaded East Germany in the 1970s. “We’d read a book by Anna Funder called Stasiland that really captured the mentality of living at a time when around 50 percent of East Germans contributed intelligence information, often about their neighbours,” explained singer Andrew Coates in a recent interview with M+N. “There was so much distrust and paranoia and it really interested us.” The album was produced by Woody Annison who worked on Black Cab's debut Altamont Diary.

Supports from The Sand Pebbles and Sun Blindness.
