ALL THE WAY FROM SOUTH AFRICA

The Parlotones Play Lulu’s in Port Jefferson This Saturday

The Parlotones are kind of a big deal in South Africa -- and they’re about to become a big deal all over the world. If you need proof, just check out their sound at myspace.com/theparlotones. Between their gigs at SXSW and a late-March tour of the UK, the band is making its only New York appearance at Lulu’s Village Pub in Port Jefferson this Saturday, March 14, at 9 PM. The band is sharing a stage with local classic rock band Pickled Beat. The Parlotones have steadily grown from a local indie band in Johannesburg, to South Africa’s top-selling rock act, with Fujufilm tapping their song “Beautiful” for a commercial.

The Parlotones are the top-selling rock act in South Africa and have received the South African Music Awards (SAMA) Best Rock Album in 2006 for their cd Radiocontrolledrobot, Best Band at the You Awards in 2007, FHM Readers Choice Award in 2007 and Best Music Act at the People’s Choice Awards in 2008. The band is touring in support of their latest CD A World Next Door To Yours, which is available at Amazon.com.
