Adelaide based alternative-rocker Beau Lightning is gearing up to launch onto the psych-music scene as he returns with his latest single “Don’t Get Bit”, premiered via _______. The electrifying track, mixed by Nick Franklin (Polish Club, Clews) is Lightning’s second single since bursting onto the scene with his debut hit “Last Night”, and is another addictive taste of his high-energy rock ’n’ roll.

With the new single, Beau Lightning has crafted an rousing piece of neo-psychedelic excellence that bathes in a hazy holographic sunset. By channelling the vibes of early 2005’s Wolfmother, as well as lending his own unique and distinctive Lightning flair, Beauhas created a whole sonic world within the track, the lyrics of which paint a vivid warning – to be wary and not end up being bitten twice.
“Don’t Get Bit is somewhat a fantasy about unrealistically rekindling a relationship you know was unhealthy and hurt you in the past, but still having the desire to see where it could go,” says Lightning. “The song almost has a devil and angel sitting on each shoulder, the angel reminding you of all the ways you were hurt and the devil telling you, ‘remakes are never the same, so let’s just see how it’s going to go’.”
Beau, who previously released songs under his given name ELI, is inspired by California daze, the desert surrounding the city of sin, cowboys, and the moon landing. All of these things make up the alter ego that is Beau Lightning.
His debut single “Last Night” was written and recorded entirely on his own after being given the opportunity to live in a recording studio that a close friend and old work colleague built in his backyard. “Last Night” was the result of tinkering and experimentation, a first attempt at using real studio equipment. With some production guidance and mixing from John Broadbent, the song came into being. His music gives nods to bands like Queens Of The Stone Age, Arctic Monkeys and Wolfmother.
“Don’t Get Bit” is available for purchase and stream on all platforms now!

My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
