Erlend Øyé’s band The Whitest Boy Alive will return to Australia in January to play tour dates in Melbourne, Brisbane and Sydney as a part of the Sydney Festival 2012 line-up.

With Kraftwerk’s precision and the melodic-pop sensibility of Phoenix, The Whitest Boy Alive creates sweet, highly danceable numbers that leave the dance floor punch-drunk and smiling in their wake. Support comes from indie rock/pop sounds of New Navy, currently making waves with their hit Zimbabwe. Future Classic DJs continue till the small hours.
