It’s difficult to avoid the obvious “buzzy” puns associated with Brisbane art-rockers Drawn From Bees at the moment. But it is an outright fact that the band have been constantly developing an exciting buzz of their own with a series of packed out shows, a recent set at the Gold Coast V Festival and nothing but glowing reviews for their second recently released record And The Blind Shall Lead The Way since their inception less than 12 months ago.
Now it’s time to share with the southern states what Queensland audiences have been lucky enough to be experiencing for the last 12 months, as the band prepare to hit the road to promote the mini-album with shows in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Toowoomba and the Gold Coast.
Drawn From Bees will arrest you with their four-part harmonies and whopping riffs, but the delicious fusion of soaring gloom will surely provide some honey for your ears. Don’t miss these dates.
