The Jungle Giants
The Jungle Giants are an Australian four-piece band, which formed in 2011 in Brisbane, Queensland.
The band consists of Sam Hales - Vocals/Guitar, Cesira Aitken - Lead Guitar, Andrew Dooris - Bass Guitar/Backing Vocals and Keelan Bijker - Drums.The label had this to say about The Jungle Giants: "Brisbane’s The Jungle Giants have been on a roll since their single ‘Mr Polite’ took over the airways and YouTube in 2011. The last 12 months have seen them hit the road playing countless shows across Australia.
All four members of The Jungle Giants attended the same high school in Brisbane. Singer-guitarist Hales, lead Guitarist Aitken and bassist Dooris were in opposing bands in their early years, and it wasn't until university that they came together to create The Jungle Giants. Soon after, Keelan Bijker signed on as drummer.
Lead man Sam Hales spent 6 months working two jobs in order to fund their debut self-titled EP which was released with local producer Yanto Browning in March 2011. The EP contained lead single Mr. Polite which has now reached almost 200,000 views on YouTube.
Fast forward a year and a half and The Jungle Giants were releasing their second EP, "She's A Riot". The five track EP, released via Create/Control on July 27, 2012, drew on life experiences and told stories of friendships and relationships in Hales' life.
In late 2012, The Jungle Giants supported Last Dinosaurs' national Satellites tour with Twinsy. In early 2013, The Jungle Giants toured Australia with Two Door Cinema Club, playing a series of concerts throughout Australia along with The Vaccines.
On January 26, 2013, single "She's A Riot" ranked 83rd on the Triple J Hottest 100, 2012 ranking higher than the likes of Two Door Cinema Club and Snakadaktal.
In May 2013, The Jungle Giants released "I Am What You Want Me To Be", the first new track off their debut album which is set for release in late 2013. The band will tour Australia to celebrate the release of the single in July 2013, including both headline performances and appearances at Splendour In The Grass 2013 & Spin Off Festival.
