Heaps Good Friends are touring in support of their forthcoming debut EP Hug Me which features the widely loved singles ‘I Could Eat a Full Packet of Yo Yo’s’, ‘Let’s Hug Longer’ and ‘Olympic Sneakers’, and is due out on March 2 through the band’s own label, distributed by Kobalt/AWAL.

WATCH: ‘I Could Eat a Full Packet of Yo Yos’
.
Taking out the awards for ‘Best New Artist’ at the South Australian Music Awards last year, Heaps Good Friends’ single ‘Let’s Hug Longer’ was the 9th most played track on triple j in 2017 and truly put this bubbly trio on the map. They released the hilarious video for ‘I Could Eat a Full Packet of Yo Yos’, which was directed by them together with Aaron Schuppan and filmed in Adelaide’s beautiful heritage-listed Capri Cinema, late last year to a roaring applause, including from The Music who said simply that the band “hit it out of the park”. Sophomore single and fan favourite ‘Olympic Sneakers’ was their second single to be added to triple j’s high rotation with AAA Backstage singing its praises saying, “it pretty much has “Warning: Foot Tapping Imminent” stamped on the box.”
Heaps Good Friends – Emma Fradd (vocals / guitar), Nick O’Connor (bass / vocals) and Dan Steinert (drums) – are the trio known for delivering lyrically playful, synth pop treats. Their upcoming debut Hug Me EP is a pocketful of fireworks, a six-track explosion of synths, catchy hooks and undeniable beats. We can’t wait to see what happens when this unstoppable trio hit the road.
