PNAU: The Return of Australian Dance Icons
Australian electronic-dance OGs, PNAU, are back with a bang! This time, they’ve swapped the bustling city life for the heart and soul of regional Australia, embarking on their first-ever tour beyond the capital cities. As the winter chill settles in, these seasoned artists promise to deliver a series of unforgettable shows across Queensland and New South Wales.
New Music: ‘Tu Corazón (Your Heart)’
Known for their chart-topping hit “Cold Heart,” PNAU has maintained their impressive collaborative momentum with notable artists such as Elton John, Dua Lipa, Coldplay, and Khalid. Their latest offering, ‘Tu Corazón (Your Heart),’ was born from a partnership with the talented all-sister Mexican rock band, The Warning. This vibrant, tangy bop encapsulates a celebratory spirit, highlighted by its lively music video shot against the stunning backdrop of Monterrey, Mexico.
Celebrating Regional Australia
PNAU will be taking their music on an exhilarating 12-date journey through regional centres, marking a delightful change in their touring approach. The tour, running from June to July, will touch down in various towns including Cairns, Townsville, Bundaberg, Toowoomba, Coffs Harbour, Newcastle, and the Central Coast. This decision to connect with fans in these locales promises not just music but a more intimate experience, as both artists and audiences come together in the charm of regional venues.
Nick Littlemore, one of PNAU’s founding members, encapsulated the tour’s vibe perfectly: “We are hitting every outhouse, doghouse, hip house, and acid house on our first-ever regional lyfe tour this June. A true winter warmer. We look forward to seeing all you raving jellybeans out there.” His enthusiasm speaks to the essence of PNAU—an unyielding passion for music and connection.
A Serendipitous Connection with The Warning
PNAU’s collaboration with The Warning isn’t just a recent affair; it has roots that trace back over a decade. The bands first crossed paths while PNAU was in Mexico shooting a music video for Empire Of The Sun. At that time, The Warning was an aspiring rock band, navigating the heavy music scene. This serendipitous meeting laid the groundwork for a creative partnership, leading to productive recording sessions at PNAU’s studio in downtown Los Angeles.
The newly released ‘Tu Corazón (Your Heart)’ carries a universal message of opening one’s heart to the beauty that surrounds us, serving as a reminder of the importance of staying open to life’s wonders, especially in an ever-changing world.
