HUNGRY KIDS OF HUNGARY ANNOUNCE NEW DATES!

www.myspace.com/hungrykidsofhungary

Hot on the heels of their impressive Big Day Out set on the Local Produce stage where they pulled one of the day’s largest crowds, Hungry Kids of Hungary are about to shake it up once again setting plans in motion for what will undoubtedly be a huge 2009. Firstly with their first round of live dates just being added to the calendar, their debut, self-titled EP will be officially released across the nation on March 7 (through MGM) while brand new recordings are being polished off as you read this.

The boys will be mixing it up – joining sassy, pop chanteuse Kate Miller-Heidke for a trio of shows in South-East Queensland, including the Gold Coast, Byron Bay and Lake Kawana. They’ll also be making a special appearance at Brisbane’s The Troubadour to play the venue’s return of The Late Show, a sharp set starting at 1am. Yes, that’s right – after the last cord has died down at any other venue in town, Brisbane’s most dedicated music lovers will be able to venture to the cosy surroundings of The Troubadour and check out one of their new favourite bands in the wee hours of the morning!

Good news also for the band’s lead single, ‘Set It Right’ – it has gained a healthy momentum over the last couple of months and having recently achieved even more than a healthy dose of airplay on Triple J, it has officially ranked on the stations Hit List.

In addition to this current hub of hyperactive-activity, finishing touches are also currently being put on HKoH’s very exciting lineup for their first extensive interstate tour in March/April (dates to be announced soon!).
