Australia's Power Supply are happy to share the video for "Let's Do This and Let's Do That" - the second single off their upcoming debut album In the Time of the Sabre-toothed Tiger. The LP will released on October 22 via Goner Records.

Power Supply features Mikey Young (Eddy Current Suppression Ring, Total Control), Leon Stackpole (Sailors, Ooga Boogas), Richard Stanley (Onyas, Drug Sweat) and Per Bystrum (Exhaustion, Voice Imitator). After the demise of the Ooga Boogas the band’s Leon Stackpole recorded under the name Leon, a “side project” that quickly became a full time gig. The demand for live shows led Leon to recruit Per from Ooga Boogas and “a guy named Brad” into his touring lineup.

The trio was red hot, but inevitably the venues they filled required a fuller sound so Leon recruited Mikey from Ooga Boogas on second guitar. The gruelling touring schedule became too much for family-man Brad, so Rich from Ooga Boogas jumped in to take his place.

Eventually the question presented itself to this freshly-minted foursome: should they continue as Leon's backing band or strike out anew with a fresh identity? The answer came in a moniker too electrifying to resist; a name as clever, enigmatic and indeed, as powerful as the band itself. Power Supply.

Back in the shed, jams became songs, jokes became lyrics and long afternoons spent together became the forthcoming In the Time of the Sabre Tooth Tiger.
