As we’ve recently mentioned, raucous Queensland outfits Dune Rats and DZ Deathrays are currently in the midst of a massive international tour, taking on Europe and North America together, and things are getting expectedly loose.
The boys have been busying themselves by playing to sold-out crowds, watching each other soundcheck, getting into all sorts of revelry and debauchery, and tweeting at Hanson. Apparently, the Dunies want the teen idols to play a party in Byron Bay once they get back home.
The boys recently hit up Amsterdam (yes, we already know all of the jokes you’re making) and Dunies shared some brilliant footage from the gig involving a particularly enthusiastic punter who gave zero Fs and straight took over the vocals for DZ.
After revealing that they’d been writing some new tunes together, Dunies drummer BC Michaels recently confirmed that completing a song with the DZ boys is definitely on the bucket list. “I’d love to because then it’d give us something else to play with them on stage for this tour,” he said.
There’s no date yet for when we can expect the new Dunies record, but triple j’s 2016 Aussie Release Schedule claims the release will be an EP which will drop some time before the end of the year. Meanwhile, BC says the band plan on dropping a new single before 2017.
As for DZ Deathrays, they recently unveiled the music video for their latest single, the raucous ‘Pollyanna’. They accompanied the announcement with a string of new headline Australian tour dates, officially cementing them as one of Australia’s busiest bands.
