Remember a while back when I reviewed this little lesbian band? (Click HERE if you don't!)
Well look here: they have some new music for you!
New song 'Matches' sounds half like something from The Hunger Games soundtrack, and half like something dreamy and otherworldly that Daughter would write.
Check it out here if you're into that sort of vibe:
About the band:
Formed in 2014, Tús Nua has existed with the current members since 2016. The band released an EP in April of 2014 and is
currently recording its first LP, which
should be out by the end of 2016. First single off the album, called Matches,
will be released in July 2016. Tús Nua plays a blend of post-rock, shoegaze,
and a little bit of everything, and is currently based in Zagreb. So far, Tús
Nua has played in Belgium, Slovenia, and Croatia.
Remember that time we let you all know about this hot, talented, lesbian YouTube couple? Well, look what we have here... It's their brand new (super, super gay) music video!
Who are Bria and Chrissy, in their own words?
BriaAndChrissy have been making youtube videos for a little over 2
years, in this short time between their two channels they have accumulated 60
million views and 350 thousand followers. They are a real life couple who
create music and videos to help inspire people, be it about their sexuality, depression,
anti bullying, or suicide prevention. Their videos often use comedy to help
spread these messages. This debut music video 's goal is to help change hearts
and minds.
The all-female-boot-stompin'-alt-country-rock band filmed the music
video with directors Jie Yi and Valerie Lasser during their run of New England
tour dates back in March 2014. The catchy track is taken from the band’s newly
released EP “Whiskey & Wine - Volume 1", which dropped on
iTunes and their official website March 25th, 2014.
The concept of the “Get To You” video is meant to invoke the sense of
bonding and spiritual sisterhood that naturally forms and is collectively
shared between all band members while on the road, living together in close
quarters for long periods of time, be it on a tour bus or on stage.
The music video gives an exclusive behind-the-scenes glimpse into
Antigone Rising’s tight-knit camaraderie which provides all four of them -
Kristin Ellis-Henderson, Cathy Henderson, Nini Camps and Dena Tauriello - a
much-welcome backbone and support for the long weeks spent away from home and
from their loved ones. “Get To You” ultimately shows how on the road, Antigone
Rising is a family.
Antigone Rising was the first band on Starbuck’s Hear
Music (Lava Records) that exploded into the spotlight selling over 150,000
copies of their debut LP and landing in the top 20 of the “Billboard
Heatseekers” chart for an entire year.
Since then Antigone Rising has gone from touring with such prestigious
acts as The Rolling Stones, Aerosmith, The Allman Brothers Band, The
Bangles and Rob Thomas; traveling to the Middle East, spending time in Israel
and the West Bank as cultural ambassadors for the United States Embassy,
to making national headlines for having its co- founding member, Kristen
Henderson featured on the envelope-pushing cover of Time Magazine's
Equality issue.
With an enduring success that ensures constant touring, it’s hard to
find a band currently busier than Antigone Rising.
In addition to extensively touring across the US, Antigone Rising is
also running a packed promotional campaign for not just one but TWO
brand new EPs for 2014: the already released 'Whiskey & Wine -
Volume 1" and "Whiskey & Wine - Volume 2” due out October
28th.
Doing things very differently with these releases, the band plans to put
a laser focus on each and every song on the 2 EPs.
The goal is to stay connected and involved with the fans who have always
been the lifeblood of, and the most critical part of the band’s formula for
success. Fans can expect loads of Antigone Rising content with
videos, behind the scenes footage, and alternate mixes and
versions.
Showing no sign of slowing down, at the root of it all, Antigone Rising
is keeping their minds focused on one goal: to “Get To You”!
