Tempesst Premiere "Sunflower Lady" Video
Australia outfit Tempesst - now based in London - have premiered the self-directed video for their brand new single Sunflower Lady. The Australian twins Toma and Andy Banjanin deliver a kaleidoscopic daydream fusing the psych-rock tendencies of fellow countrymen Tame Impala or King Gizzard And The Lizard Wizard, with the wit and humour of folk troubadours like Father John Misty and Matthew E. White.
Tomas explains,
Sunflower Lady is about being under the spell of a girl. You'd do anything to have her - so I had to write a song about it.



Speaking a little more on the idea behind the video, Andy Banjamin said:
Originally the idea was to feature my cat Riley as the star of the video but he was very unhappy that I took him out of the house. So after hours of chasing him around the studio we ended up only getting one shot with him and then decided to take turns dancing in front of the camera. There you have it.

It’s been a big year for Tempesst – now joined by band of brothers Eric Weber (guitars), Jesse Hutchence (bass) and Kane Reynolds (keys) – including back-to-back showcases (The Great Escape, NME Awards, Live At Leeds), festivals (Bushstock, Southsea Fest, Hackney Wonderland) and live dates alongside Mystery Jets, The Veils, Albert Hammond Jr and GUM (Jay Watson, Tame Impala). Fresh from their biggest London headline to date at The Moth Club, Tempesst saw out 2016 with a sold out December UK Tour in support of The Temper Trap.

Tempesst now head out on another UK tour of their own, headlining the below dates.

Feb 18 – The Buyers Club, Liverpool
Feb 19 – Oporto, Leeds
Feb 20 – The Castle Hotel, Manchester
Feb 21 – The Lexington, London
