The Brits are going wild for Brisbane’s bubble gum punksters, Operator Please.
The Aussie quintet has just been added to the lineup for next month’s Reading and Leeds festivals. Their hyperactive single “Just a Song About Ping Pong” has also been added to London’s BBC Radio 1 and XFM playlists.
But these Aussie teens are no overnight success story. They’ve been perfecting their bluegrass-tinged punk since they won their school’s battle of the bands comp in 2005.
Perez Hilton also named Operator Please his “favourite new band.” With the backing of this influential tabloid blogger, world domination may be just around the corner.
