Adelaide indie-pop act Pinkish Blu celebrates the creativity and camaraderie they’ve found pursuing music with their latest single “Start a Band.” It’s a bit of a slow burner, but once it gets under your skin I predict you’ll have it on repeat like I do.
“Start a Band’ is about knowing someone that’s stuck in a rut and our honest, heartfelt advice to them is to just “start a band”, because based off our experience, it’s one of the best things a person can do in their life,” Pinkish Blu gushed. “Being in a band has become less about writing and performing music together and more about sharing a special bond. From the countless laughing fits and leaning on each other to sleep, to knowing each others’ favourite foods, TV shows, and music off by heart, we can depend on each other to be there through all the ups and downs and as a bonus, we get to play music together. So I guess you could say this song is part directive and part celebration for anyone down in the dumps to consider starting a band.”
The single comes with a music video that gives you a sneak peek at life on the road with Pinkish Blu. The Adelaide band rarely sit still, supporting the likes of The Rubens and Trophy Eyes and gracing stages at Groovin the Moo and BIGSOUND. You’ll next see them on the road supporting Odette.
