Lots of news today for Sydney outfit Middle Kids as they announce their signing with labels EMI Music in Australia, and Domino in North America – as well as a massive U.S. tour, local dates, and a new clip to boot.
The three-piece have already had some pretty solid attention this year, with their track ‘Edge Of Town’ picking up a spin from Sir Elton John himself on his Beats 1 show, and it’s helped them on their way to the mammoth U.S. jaunt you see below, which includes dates supporting Cold War Kids and a stopover in Austin for massive industry conference and showcase SXSW.
They’ve celebrated by dropping a new clip for ‘Never Start’ directed by Emile Freeman, which is the third single taken from their self-titled debut EP due on Feb 17. The record was produced by the band’s own multi-instrumentalist Tim Fitz, one third of the band alongside frontwoman Hannah Joy and drummer Harry Day, and we look forward to hearing the remaining three tracks very soon.
Aussies can catch Middle Kids playing the new choons live throughout April on an East Coast tour, and the band will have a week or two to recover following their monster overseas excursion – all the dates are below.
