The Australian band Dune Rats have just scored a Number1 album and sold out a national tour, but that’s all easy. Of course, Dune Rats have a massive regional audience, which is why the band have just announced their Fuck Yeah Ledge Yew! regional tour, which will see the boys hit towns and cities in five states.

In addition, they have also released the new video for ‘Braindead’, the third single The Kids Will Know It’s Bullshit. The guys play in a huge field of weed, because that’s the type of thing Dune Rats do in their videos.

Here’s what they had to say about the clip: “It was epic to head out to the middle of nowhere with the Afends crew and setup a ramp inside a massive weed field. Then just drank beers and had a sick arvo.”
