One of Australia's premier jam bands and true believers in sounds beyond boundaries, Band of Frequencies draw their influences from a vast spectrum of blues, roots, rock, funk and psychedelic styles.
Their newest single, 'Making It Happen', continues the group's rich vein of producing hip-shaking, arms-flailing music.
Written while on a trip to Bali earlier this year to promote their 'Men Of Wood & Foam' soundtrack, the song veers down a funky laneway of psychedelic grooves, jungle percussion and acid-rock licks before filtering elements of early Salmonella Dub.
It's a tasty eye fillet of musical goodness. "We had just one day in the Seminyak Pro Studio booked, but rather than record a previously written track, we threw ourselves into the unknown and this whole new tune emerged," the band says.
"'Becik Becik', the original title and chorus, means 'very busy', which was the vibe of the island and our trip. Busy busy in a good good way.
"Following a flurry of final shows, we returned home with the files and hit the new Yama-Nui studios with PaulieB ‘Lord Tanuki’ to mix it down and give it the Tanuki dub treatment. Meanwhile, Nathan Myers was editing a crazy, psychedelic film clip that we hadn't seen yet and could only imagine."

"What a journey. We're stoked with how it all came together, from writing and recording a new tune in the studio to filming the film clip all within a few days. The process and the result feel super fresh and inspired, which is now informing a new album currently in the works. Many thanks to all involved in 'Making It Happen'."
