SOLD-OUT US HEADLINE SHOWS BEGIN FEB 27 IN LOS ANGELES, SAN FRANCISCO, CHICAGO, AND BROOKLYN

SPECIAL GUEST RUN ON UPCOMING EU/UK LEG OF TWENTY ONE PILOTS BLOCKBUSTER THE CLANCY WORLD TOUR BEGINS APRIL 7 IN HAMBURG, DE

Balu Brigada is the groove-pop duo you’ve been waiting for.” – PEOPLE

“Balu Brigada is all about experimentation, inspired by genre-mashing musical giants Gorillaz and Frank Ocean. Their songs perfectly soundtrack coastal road trips, summer BBQs and flirty dancefloor moments – effortless, laidback cool….Balu Brigada’s time is now.” – ONES TO WATCH

“‘The Question’ is a late night love song set in some of the grungier parts of New York City” said Balu Brigada. “We’d been roaming around the lower east side a lot at the time we were writing it, and despite the song being a fictional narrative, a lot of the lyrics are drawn from some of the characters we had met. Wounded romantics, a sprinkling of starving artists, and a few trust fund babies all converging to make the wonderful tapestry of a city that charges you 3 thousand dollars to live in a rat infested hallway.”

The Question” heralds Balu Brigada’s most epic live schedule to date, kicking off next week with The Can’t Be Your Dog Tour, a completely sold-out US headline run getting underwayFebruary 27 at Los Angeles, CA’s The Echo followed by shows at San Francisco, CA’s Popscene @ Rickshaw Stop (March 1), Chicago, IL’s Schubas Tavern (March 3), and Baby’s All Right in the Auckland, NZ-based band’s adopted hometown of Brooklyn, NY (March 6).

Recently named among SiriusXM’s 2025 “Future Five” as well as Amazon Music’s “Breakthrough: Artists To Watch 2025,” Balu Brigada will cross the Atlantic to join Twenty One Pilots as special guest on the EU/UK leg of their blockbuster The Clancy World Tour, beginning April 7 at Hamburg, DE’s Barclays Arena.

2024 proved a landmark year for Balu Brigada – a.k.a. multi-instrumentalist/dual vocalist/co-songwriter/co-producer brothers Henry and Pierre Beasley – underscored by the success of their hard-hitting hit single, “So Cold,”. Earning them over 1M monthly listeners on Spotify and SiriusXM’s Alt Nation’s Critical Cut for September 2024, the bittersweet, bass-driven track has spent more than 18 weeks among the top 10 on Alternative Radio playlists nationwide while earning more than 20M worldwide streams to date. “So Cold” – earned prestigious inclusion on EA Sports FC 25 soundtrack and worldwide critical applause from the likes of coup de main and Rolling Stone Australia, which declared, Balu Brigada have opened a new creative chapter” – is joined by an official music video currently boasting over 2M views and counting HERE. The duo was handpicked by Twenty One Pilots to join them on the North American leg of their hugely successful Clancy World Tour, an epic arena run highlighted by show-stopping sets at such famed venues as Las Vegas, NV’s MGM Grand Garden Arena, Dallas, TX’s American Airlines Center, Brooklyn, NY’s Barclays Center, and Chicago, IL’s United Center, to name only a few. Now, with “The Question” – and more imaginative new music to come – Balu Brigada are rising to even higher summits on what has already been an exhilarating adventure of musical discovery.

Hailed by i-D as “an actual band of brothers making tunes stacked with hooks that’ll run circles around your brain for days,” Balu Brigada grew up in an environment that challenged the musical norms, fine-tuning a distinctive future-facing approach all their own, prioritizing dual vocals, prominent bass hooks, and punchy drums while showcasing a left-of-center pop sensibility and natural ability to skate genres – the result being a singular sound that is uniquely Balu Brigada. The Beasley brothers arrived on the scene with 2022’s debut EP, I Should Be Home, highlighting such releases as last year’s breakthrough EP, Find A Way, which amassed more than 21M worldwide streams on track “Designer”, and the heartbreakingly funky title track, “Find A Way,” both joined by official music videos streaming now at YouTube HERE. Along the way, Balu Brigada received applause from such outlets as Rolling StoneOnes To Watch, and PEOPLE, the latter of which named the band to its “Talented Emerging Artists Making Their Mark” list, praising their “soaring falsetto choruses, synth hooks and an irresistible, underlying groove.”
