When i first read about Empire of the sun, i got rather excited, two people, from two of my favourite bands and lots of make up; what could be better? It may only be 22nd of January, but i think i can safely say, these guys will be one of the best bands out this year. Empire of the Sun is made up of Luke Steele of The Sleepy Jackson and Nick Littlemore of Pnau; the bands name comes from a J. G. Ballard novel that goes by the same name.
Their first single “Walking on a Dream” was released in Australia on 30th August 2008 and reached number 16 in the Australian charts. Their debut album, Walking on a Dream, was released on 4 October 2008 in Australia and reached number 8 in the album charts. They are already known for their elaborate clothing which according to Wikipedia is sourced from all over the world. Rock’n'roll or what?
If you like MGMT, Pnau, you will like these guys. Here is a video for you to check them out!
