With the latest news of their current single being added to triple j for national rotation, Brisbane art-rockers Drawn From Bees are also celebrating their first interstate jaunt and are proud to announce the release of their debut video for the single – ‘Long Tooth Setting Sun’.

The video is the first lifted from their acclaimed second record And The Blind Shall Lead The Way and was created by local filmmakers, producer Oliver Lofgren and director Nick West of West Ollywood Productions. It bravely shows off the band’s taste for the dark and the arty as well as their penchant and clear talents for performance.

Having set themselves the arduous task of recording and releasing a record every six months, Drawn From Bees will take time out of the studio where they’re working on release number three and hit the road for the Long Tooth Tour. Make sure you catch at least a glimpse of these captivating four finally taking to the southern states what Queenslanders have selfishly kept to themselves for the last 12 months.

JTV Spotlight onHungry Kids of Hungary

May 26th, 2009 | By ben

Well the International Relations Tour is truly done and dusted but JTV having been showing highlights of the night in the last few weeks. The highlight of the tour was easily the party the kind folk at triple j threw at the Annandale Hotel in Sydney.  It was simply massive: 450 sweaty punters crammed into the room with about three times as many turned away, cracking DJ sets from triple j folks Dools, Dom, Nick and more and, of course, three most excellent bands all on the cusp of something even greater – Philadelphia Grand Jury, Washington and Hungry Kids of Hungary.

Check out the below videos for a chat with our own Hungry Kids Kane, Dean and Ben (Ryan was asleep in the tour van) backstage before their massive show at the Annandale Hotel in Sydney.  The night was incredible and surreal, to say the least, with a full house jumping around for three great bands.

Check out the video highlights of the Philly Jays and Washington – HERE and some excellent pics and a blog thanks to Dom Alessio – HERE.

Otherwise, enjoy the interview and live cut of ‘Scattered Diamonds’ from Hungry Kids of Hungary below.
