HUNGRY KIDS OF HUNGARY IN THE AMERICAN CMJ CHART AND TOURING AUSTRALIA
June 6th, 2011 | By
Brisbane’s HUNGRY KIDS OF HUNGARY are back in the country following a recent jaunt to the USA and Canada where they took part and played stellar sets at South By South West and Canadian Music Week, turning heads and pricking the ears of punters and the industry heads that crossed their path.The likes of tastemaker stations such as KCRW touted the band as one of the best international acts to play the Texan conference/festival while, currently, the band is sitting at #101 on the American College Music Charts with their Mega Mountain EP, a small taste of things to come when their album is released worldwide in the coming months.
Back on home soil, the band is preparing for the upcoming THE FINAL ESCAPADE TOUR which is, as the names suggests, the last tour on the back of their much-acclaimed debut album Escapades.
Beginning in April and continuing throughout May, this will be the Hungry five’s most ambitious ride yet. With an absolute killer line-up of super-friends in tow, the tour has provided opportunity to invite Perth-rock-geniues-in-the-making THE CHEMIST along for the ride, as well as recent recording buddy and the intensely talented ANDY BULL while singer/songwriter DANIEL LEE KENDALL will open the east coast capital cities. Considering the lineup’s friednship and history, expect collaborations….
