Peter Bibby’s debut single, “Hates My Boozin'” drops via Spinning Top Music on Monday. The musician is self-described on his Facebook page as, “writes tunes and sings them like Shane McGowan lost in Kalgoorlie screaming at bleeding laudanum and typhoid hallucinations and strums the guitar like a dog drunk on rum.” I’m not sure about all that, but the dreamy, emotionally-driven track points to a promising future for Bibby’s first album, Butcher/Hairstylist/Beautician that drops on November 14.  He may be a raging alcoholic, but we’re looking forward to what Bibby has to deliver.

On writing the single, Bibby released this statement:

“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. Then this other time, I was getting well pissed and rowdy at my house with some mates and my housemate came in and told us to “sht the f*#k up c@#ts!” so we did our best.

The next morning she said she needed a word with me in private and told me she was worried about my alcohol intake and I took it all on board and at the time, I thought she may be on to something. Over the course of that day I started thinking things like “fuck t^@t!” and “who the devil does she think she is?” and then 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. It’s my ‘Bitch, don’t kill my vibe’.  Its my woozy ballad of self assurance.”
