DRAWN FROM BEES ANNOUNCE 'RUN AWAY TOUR' & SINGLE

March 4th, 2010 | By tyler

Prolific art-rockers Drawn from Bees have bagged the last instalment of their self-imposed schedule to write, record and release a body of work every six months for two years. Even though an EP would have easily completed the project, the ambitious foursome have just laid down the finishing touches to a whole album this time around, titled Fear Not The Footsteps Of The Departed.

‘Run Away’, the lead single from the album to be released in the coming months, is a foot-stomping romp, incorporating the band’s fervently complimented four-part harmonies alongside thick acoustic strumming and a subtle keys melody. The single shows a playful side to Drawn from Bees and provides a lovely glimpse into the hearts of their cultured, well-dressed personas.

Taking their own advice, the Brisbane lads will leave home to show off their new single during March and April to embark on the Run Away Tour. Special guests for each date will be announced soon.

Run Away released via iTunes April 2
From the forthcoming album Fear Not The Footsteps Of The Departed

PARTY TIME, EXCELLENT!

July 31st, 2009 | By

Ladies and gentlemen… the time has come to cast aside the woolly socks and cosy nights in front of the tube to get your indie cool on once again and wig out alongside Brisbane’s finest bands at the Troubadour on Saturday August 8th.

The bountiful line-up boasts a co-headline of The Boat People, fresh from their third USA tour in nine months, and the Hungry Kids of Hungary who are slotting in a quickie hometown show with their buds amongst national dates with Bertie Blackman and Little Birdy.  While the Boaties are kicking goal after goal in the States with their pop-perfect songwriting prowess, the Hungries have been winning hearts back home with their charming grins, playful demeanour and a cannon of indie-pop gems.

The kooky kids from Ball Park Music will kick off proceedings with their unique pop recipe full of sliding trombones and heart-breaking folk, jangly guitars and honky-tonk piano, sad songs about Translink and happy songs about rotten storms.

Dan Parsons then showcases his new band on only their third ever outing. You wouldn’t know it though – the four-piece are old buddies who together effortlessly lead the Parsons project into rockin’ new territory.

And stick around for the after-party featuring the triumphant return of Brisbane’s self-coined ‘freeguardist’ revolving outfit Lost of Love.  Featuring Edward Guglielmino, James O’Brien (The Boat People), Jackie Marshall, Lucas Arundell, Mick Elliot and Sam Schlencker (Skinny Jean), LoL’s performances of exclusively improvised material are heralded simultaneously as something that could be the best or worst thing you’ll see this year.
