After a seriously long break between albums The Jungle Giants released their new album “Love Signs” and started touring around Australia.

The Jungle Giants bought along Lazywax and Bag Raiders. If you have not herd of The Jungle Giants, they have been in the Brisbane music scene since 2011 making the most infectious Electric indie rock music. In a city where we are still unable to dance this was a hard gig to be at.

Having the Lazywax as the first act open the electricity and base vibrated through your whole body. The duo had a tough job warming up the crown but they pulled it off. Heads were bopping arms in the air they managed to do the impossible in the city where you can't dance. After Lazywax came the ever-popular Bag Raiders, playing all his classics saving the best for last “shooting stars”.

The crowd could not contain themselves and just had to get up and dance to their favourite song.

The crowd quickly settled down before crowd control could say anything. With excitement in the air, it wasn’t long before the Jungle Giants opened with their first song “on your way down”, The Jungle Giants played almost all of their greatest hits. With Sam the lead singer interacting with the crowd the crowd went wild, the energy that the band put out to the crowd was amazing, you can feel the base through your body the lyrics touch your heart and a beat that made you get up and dance. The crowd had no control over there will to get up and dance.

The last song was too much and the crowd went crazy. Security just had to let them dance from the General admission area to the balcony they were all dancing. The Jungle giants closed with their song “love Signs” from their new album the crowd was not satisfied and wanted more time with the band. The Jungle Giants listed and came back for two more songs. “In her eyes” and the all-time classic favourite “heavy hearted”.

It was a huge successful night for The Jungle Giants if you want to see them play, they still have a few more stops on Their Australian tour including Sydney (11/3/22) Albury (19/3/22) as well as playing at the following festivals- yours & owls, out of the woods and Splendour in the grass.
