Band of the Week
[ myspace. facebook. official. ]
This week Empire of the Sun have 4 sold out shows at The Music Box. That’s pretty impressive. Their first US show ever was last weekend at Lollapalooza. Originally Luke Steele & Nick Littlemore created the music for their 2009 debut album Walking On A Dream. When it came time to finally tour for the album, Nick Littlemore was apprently missing & Luke Steele hadn’t heard from him in months. Steele is continuing on without him & is playing a string of US tour dates. I’m really excited about seeing the first night of the 4 shows this week. Here’s a video for a new song that was not on the album
