If you’ve been studying the NZ Music charts recently, you won’t have missed Playlunch, Australia’s 7-piece, bogan funk outfit, who soared to #1 on Spotify’s Viral Chart with their breakout hit ‘Keith’, following its #4 placement in Australia’s music democracy, triple j’s Hottest 100 countdown.
The band’s cover of ‘It’s Raining Men’ for triple j’s Like A Version also placed at #73, and they appeared twice in triple j’s Hottest 200 with the coveted #101 spot for ‘Real Estate Apps’ ft. Aunty Donna, as well as #124 for ‘Boys’.
Controversy? Threatened lawsuits? Hotlines, hot button subjects and a white-hot video featuring a certain notorious hot-tempered Australian football Hall of Famer? Oh yes, Playlunch are here, with their latest single ‘Keith’.
“Keith regales the tale of the aggro tradie neighbour who lived beside us at our old outer-Melbourne sharehouse. Inseparable from his ute and beloved two-wheeler trailer, Keith would terrorise the streets verbally assaulting anyone who DARED leave their car in the on-street parking out front of his house. From the moment we first played it live, this one has been a fan favourite - no matter who you are or where you come from, EVERYONE knows a Keith." – Liam Bell, Playlunch
