The crew at Dew Process love you. They've given us one double pass and three copies of the EP to give away. To be in the running email win@fourthousand.com.au with which one of the YKB boys you'd like to pash most, where and why. Winners will be notified by email.
Brisbane modern rockabilly foursome Yves Klein Blue have achieved the kind of success that could turn any young band into a bunch of twats. Yet despite their newfound fame, YKB remain surprisingly grounded. After a number of interstate tours, support slots for some major acts and having recently returned from the UK and a US SXSW stint, this fresh-faced act is ready to win over local audiences all over again with a re-release of their Yves Klein Blue Draw Attention To Themselves EP.
Shelve your copy of the prior release because YKB return with three previously released tracks plus three brand spankin' bops to cement their success and melt more ladies (and men's, *sigh*) hearts. Launching their EP in their hometown, you can be guaranteed an extra special performance pizazz filled with soaring, danceable riffs, mellow croons and rasping yelps, jiveable beats and a whole heap of flair.
Calling on good friends and two of Brisbane's most talented acts, Wind & Brackets and Rocketsmiths, to act as support for the evening, you know you have to cancel any plans for Saturday night and swing on down to The Troubadour for our little town's brightest musical lights.
