>> what's it all about
Comprised of members Samuel Burger (lead vocals), Robbie Spooner (drums) and Daniel Burger (bass guitar), Opposite The Otherare extremely excited to have ‘Everybody Knows’ released as their first single and music video of 2018. The upbeat track is driven by their signature rhythmic piano line and a powering drum groove over the catchy chorus.
The song analyses the human conditionand how people fall into the cycle of living without real purpose, and whilst everybody knows it, no actions are made to truly change. Watch the music video for ‘Everybody Knows’ here: https://youtu.be/LKnRtRqDIj8 The band opted to shoot a live performance video for the single. “We felt it wasthe right time to capture our live performance style and to shed a bit more light on the three people behind the songs.
We honestly had such a great time working with the director Richard Gorven and we're really happy and proud of the video. Think we gave itall we had to give.” They couldn’t have picked a better time to drop a live performance video with less than two weeks till they embark on their first EuroTour on the 6th. The Cape Town-based trio will be touring with Matthew Mole, performing 8 shows across 5 countries (Germany, Switzerland, Netherlands,France and the UK) over a period of just 10 days.
An intense tour schedule for their first trip, but the band is eager to hit the road. “We're heading to Europe with our good friend, Matt Mole. We've played many a show together over the last two years, Rob (our drummer) sessions for him sometimesfor shows and we all get to hangout as we now all live in Cape Town,” comments front man, Sam Burger.
He elaborates on the tour with Matthew Mole, saying “The tour really came about with us looking to head to Europe and knowing Matt's been keento head over for a while. It was really a natural progression with our respective managers working out the details and plans, and us as artists getting excited and trying our best to make some awesome shows happen.
We're purposely going for just two weeks,playing 8 shows across Europe and capturing our journey playing for new and old fans. We're really looking forward to playing for our Spotify audience for the first time!”
