We say
The Parlotones are a South African four-piece who had a huge 2006 in their native SA as their debut full-length, Radiocontrolledrobot, won the 2006 Best Rock Album at the South African Music Awards (SAMA). As a result of their success last year the band went on to sign a worldwide license deal with Universal Music International (who signed them for the world excl. South Africa). The track featured here (a forthcoming single) has been synched to a TV advert in Ireland, where they have recently enjoyed significant airplay. In the live setting and on record front-man Kahn Morbee's vocals steer each song from being wholly accessible to endearingly eclectic. As well as ââ¬ËBeautifulââ¬â¢ other tracks like 'Dragonflies And Astronauts' (which can be found on their MySpace) demonstrate that these guys have a lot up their sleeve as a mainstream act with international ambitions.
