BOXING DAY PARTY // Jakubi // Supports TBA

After selling out venues as part of their mammoth US tour last month, Melbourne five-piece Jakubi are excited to announce their upcoming 'Life's A Beach' summer tour. The run of dates will see the funk/hip hop/rock collective take their animated live show to 11 of the country's most picturesque coastal towns across VIC, NSW & QLD, kicking off in Manly on Thursday 11 December.
 
Adding to what has been an incredible year for the band comes the announcement of a co-management deal with major US player 7s Management (The Dandy Warhols, Dinosaur Jr) alongside securing a spot on the artist roster with UK's renowned Coda Agency for all European bookings.
 
The overwhelming response to their latest single 'Couch Potato' has swept across the globe. After recently topping over half a million soundcloud streams, the group have gained the praise of heavyweights Okayplayer, HillyDilly and the king of pop culture commentary himself, Perez Hilton, who said, "It's so dope! They've got a real laid-back, positive vibe that's infectious".
 
The clip for 'Couch Potato' follows a girl (Couch Potato) who's relaxed view on life gains her father's disapproval. The playful video is brought to life by the band's irresistible blend of fresh vocals, jangle guitars and sailing hip hop beats, and was recently screened across national TV - adding a comical shade to an airing of Channel 7's Highway Patrol.  As well as the upcoming 'Life's A Beach' tour, Jakubi will soon be announcing a followup tour of the US for 2015. Don't miss the chance to catch the band live in the flesh before they're whisked away from our shores once again.
