[Pulled from the 2009 Media Release]

2009 is already shaping up to be a huge year for The Basics; their last single With This Ship was lovingly added to rotation on triple j and community radio nationally and you may have seen the epic With This Ship video clip on Rage and Channel [V].

Their new single - Like A Brother - calls on their experience of club-hopping as a Tokyo party band in late 2007. Two months of gigging in Japan saw them sharing stages with twelve-piece brass bands, crooner J-pop (complete with strobe-ridden light show), crazy leather-clad psych-rock bands, electro-girl bands, 60s rock'n'roll bands, and genre-defying numbers like "Panty High School" - three scantily-clad schoolgirls playing trash-rock fronted by an old guy who could only have been their teacher!
