“you and all your friends
don’t even like each other anyway
if you wanted more for less
then cut them off and start a band”

Adelaide indie outfit Pinkish Blu unveil their new track ‘Start A Band’ today. The song celebrates writing and performing music together, and is the follow up to their hugely successful single, ‘Backward’ which was added to Triple j last month.

"Start a Band’ is about knowing someone that’s stuck in a rut and our honest, heart-felt 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. 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.”

Start A Band is accompanied by a behind the scenes peek at what it’s like being on the road with Pinkish Blu.

Having supported the likes of The Rubens, Trophy Eyes and more, as well as performing on lucrative stages including BIGSOUND and Groovin The Moo, Pinkish Blu are hitting the road with Odette, playing venues in Gold Coast, Brisbane, Byron Bay this May

PRAISE FOR PINKISH BLU

"It's a glistening indie tune that really focuses on the songwriting craft behind Pinkish Blu, doubling down on the pop-like mannerisms from their past work to the point where it really takes centre stage on Backward, amongst flourishing guitars and dancing percussion.”
Pilerats

“Carrying so much emotion and vulnerability within such a musically diverse tracklist, every song is instantly catchy.”
The Music

“Pinkish Blu are an iridescent Adelaidean pop band that will have lyric-lovers falling head over heels for their romanticised intricacy.”
AU Review

Red Hot Moon: “...another hot one from these Adelaide bros who always deliver the goods.”
Nick Findlay, Triple J

Backward: “I had a hunch after a few listens and now after 10 or so, I'm fairly sure this is Pinkish Blu's best song yet. it's got their trademark emotion and thick pop feelings but it's also got this added size and breakout feeling that i just can't get enough of. 5 stars”
Declan Byrne, Triple J

Backward: “Clever songwriting, emotionally driven and endearing charm, and hooks that I can't quite get out of my mind. It really does feel like you've stepped right into your strongest song to date and once again I find myself head over heels for another PB release. Not complaining though. So much love!
5 stars”
Claire Mooney, Triple j

Backward: “Great hearing Pinkish Blu opening up the toybox and bringing in a whole bunch of new sounds, tricks and techniques into the mix for this one. It's a winning combination of style, heart and euphoria. 4 stars”
Dave Ruby Howe, Triple j Unearthed

Backward: “I was so excited for this new PB track, and it definitely delivered. 4.5 stars”
Ash McGregor, Triple J

Backward: “The perfect step forward for a band that COULD become a serious heavyweight of Australian music. It's not a knockout blow but it's the right step forward from the influences they've showcased in the past and brings in some more raw guitar sounds. Up the PBs! 4.5 stars
