Hot off the road supporting Hungry Kinds Of Hungary across the country for their latest national tour, The Preatures barely have time to wash their smalls before they pack their bags once more for their own set of headline shows. Performing their über-awesome new single, ‘Is This How You Feel?’, the Sydney five-piece are embarking on a national tour through June.

Fans have been ravenous to hear The Preatures new sound on the road, with their Sydney and Melbourne shows already selling out, and their Brisbane date not far behind.

Never fear, as the Sydney five-piece have supplied the demand and announced aa second Melbourne show at Gertrude’s Brown Couch on Sunday 16th June, as well as a second Sydney gig at Goodgod on Saturday 22nd June.

‘Is This How You Feel?’ is the latest salvo from The Preatures following a successful 12 months that saw them named in the Top 5 of Triple J Unearthed’s Top 50 most played bands on their digital radio station. A ranking achieved in part thanks to the release Shaking Hands, their second EP – named Tone Deaf Record of the Week upon its release, with our reviewer noting it demonstrated ”a level of comfort and competence that not only shines through on this release, but also serves to hint towards the potential of this Sydney quintet; a potential that may just lead to something sensational.”

‘Something sensational’ is certainly an apt description of ‘Is This How You Feel?’, an infectious offering where “delightfully crisp vocals and transient beats will have you hitting repeat”, as we proclaimed when we featured the tune in our regular mixtape.

Now the band have released an equally ace video clip for the equally ace single, featuring some 70s styled clothing lighting, a kickin’ performance from frontwoman Isabella, and some cool, understated visuals.

The single has also gained rave reviews from fans and press alike, with Neon Gold saying “the Sydney five-piece effortlessly carve inroads into throwback pop-rock like it’s second nature, all irresistibly sultry girl vocals and fiercely gyrating basslines.”

While IndieShuffle stated that “so far, each track they’ve released touches a different nerve – which is the mark of an excellent band – and this one once again solidifies their versatility.”

‘Is This How You Feel?” is set to keep The Preatures on high rotation on both the airwaves and in the music players of Australian lovers of svelte indie rock.

Indie quintet The Preatures are back with this summery laid-back groove, ‘Is This How You Feel?’ The Sydney locals first created some waves with the bluesy ballad ‘Take A Card’ and their latest offering is just as infectious. Delightful crisp vocals and transient beats will have you hitting repeat on this funky tune.

Be sure to catch The Preatures’s scintillating live show this June as they lovingly share some brand new material from their highly anticipated third EP release, due later this year.
