Baby Animals new single, their cover of Motorhead’s ‘Ace of Spades’, had its volume turned up to 11 when Chris Cheney of The Living End joined the band to perform the song as the last one of the Red Hot Summer set in Bendigo on Saturday.
Chris joined Baby Animals in the studio recently to record the new version of the Motorhead metal classic. It was Cheney who suggested the cover. “Baby Animals recently said, “Chris Cheney said he’d love to hear us do Ace of Spades. We started to imagine how we could make it work for us, so we took it as a challenge and dragged Chris in as well – as it was his idea in the first place. And here we are!”
Baby Animals are touring on Red Hot Summer with The Living End, ZZ Top, George Thorogood and the Destroyers, Rose Tattoo and Dallas Frasca.
