The Middle East updates including tour dates


The band I became obsessed with late last year is called The Middle East. Yes, I am still obsessed with them. Some good news, they are back together, they've been featured on Triple J (as an Unearthed Feature Artist) on 8th of January and are touring most capital cities in February and their amazing song Blood has been released on a compilation album of unsigned bands. See here.
"...if the Arcade Fire released this song, it would’ve got a whole lot more attention than it has so far, because it’s really fucking amazing."

I've put some videos on YouTube. These are from the cd launch dvd recorded in april last year I have mentioned previously. I upload them as a fan and because I want you guys to become huge. I hope it's okay. (Rohin, let me know if you want me to take these down).

These songs are amazing. Have a listen.

Here we go:
