The Red Paintings from Australia are on tour around the world with their debut album „The Revolution Is Never Coming“. Composer Trash McSweeney about the album: „Most people create an album around a life, I created a life around an album!“. Bryan Carlstrom – Producer, Engineer (Alice in Chains, Rob Zombie) about his work for „The Revolution Is Never Coming“: „In my entire 30 year career I’ve not mixed such a diverse, colourful and emotionally dynamic album such as this, it’s like a 21st century War of the Worlds.“

As well as creating unique compositions and elaborate stage shows, TRP have also been widely known for their work with local and international artists and human canvases throughout an array of different stage shows across the globe.
Before each and every tour the band put a call out for Artists to submit their works to be chosen to paint at a show in their area, as well as this, one artist is chosen to come on board as a resident painter. Painting on stage every single night on one complete tour and having all their works showcased on the bands cyber art gallery and also showcased and sold at an Art Exhibit in the artist’s home town.
There are 4 painters and two human canvases to every TRP show. Each painter is supplied with a large canvas and paints, the colours are chosen before the tour and in most cases reflect the tours themes and messages. The painters are also costumed in the theme of the show. For most shows in Japanese kabuki attire.
The painters are usually giving a run down on the shows themes to reflect from the music and feeling of the shows. For example on the upcoming Australian, January 2102 ‘’Black Paintings’’ tour. The painters are asked to paint what they interpret a ‘’black hole’’ to be and what they think it would feel like visually being sucked into one and the outcome on the other side.
