Биография

The Parlotones are Kahn Morbee, Neil Pauw and brothers Glen and Paul Hodgson. Formed in 1998, they have achieved massive success in their home country of South Africa, as well as success in international markets. Rob Davidson, a long-time collaborator since 2008, joined the band full-time around 2017. Their career has spanned over 20 years and includes achieving multi-platinum selling status and numerous awards, and they have toured internationally since 2007. The Parlotones have released 8 studio albums: Episoda (2003), RadioControlledRobot (2005), A World Next Door to Yours (2007), Stardust Galaxies (2009), Journey Through the Shadows (2012), Stand Like Giants (2013), Antiques & Artefacts (2015) and Trinkets, Relics & Heirlooms (2016). They also have three live albums: Unplugged (2008), Live Design (2010) and Orchestrated (2017). In 2018, The Parlotones released a new album to coincide with their 20th anniversary as a band. The album is named China - after the traditional wedding gift for couples celebrating 20 years of marriage. The album was recorded at High Seas Studios in Johannesburg and the band made a unanimous decision to release all 25 songs that were recorded. They feel the whole body of work captures a unique sound and represents a new era for the band. Their latest releases are SOSNSBSB (a reimagining of some their most popular songs) and a Christmas album featuring classic Christmas songs and original material.
