You know the saying: what happens on tour stays on tour… and on Instagram. Queensland favourites Dune Rats and DZ Deathrays are currently in the midst of a massive international tour, taking on Europe and North America together, and it looks like a hectic time.
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.
You can check out a few choice excerpts from Dunies and DZ’s co-headline tour below. In the meantime, we’re still holding onto hope that spending so much time on the road together will finally result in a studio collaboration between the two bands.
After revealing that they’d been writing some new tunes together, 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.
