Off the back of recent single 'Through The Trees', Yolŋu surf rock band King Stingray are set to release another new song ahead of a run of regional tour dates.
The 'Milkumana' and 'Get Me Out' live favourites will drop 'Best Bits' next Wednesday (29 May) before the Arnhem Land-based group head east for a run of live shows throughout July-August.The 11-date tour will visit Castlemaine, Frankston, Torquay, Byron Bay, Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast, Coffs Harbour, Newcastle, Wollongong and Canberra before returning home for a free concert at Nhulunbuy in northeast Arnhem Land as part of East Arnhem Live festival. Singer-songwriter Jem Cassar-Daley will join the east-coast tour as the main support artist.
"'Best Bits' is a song about all the best parts of life all poured into one moment," King Stingray share about the song, which you can pre-save. "Inspired by a particular moment in time, a particular day that had all the right ingredients.
"It's about those ripper-of-a-day type moments, those warm days in the sunshine with your mates, with your family or a loved one. The memorable days that just seem to stick with you.
"It's about simple living in a complex digital world, and although it can be hard to articulate in just a few words, a feeling that is so massive and profound. Sometimes all the best bits of life are already all around us. Yo manymak!"
Tickets are on sale.
