DUNE RATS // Dunies TV Is Back For Season Two

It seems 50+ international shows, a new album, and multiple national tours within 6 months aren’t enough to keep Dune Rats satisfied.

The grungy Brisbane trio has announced the second season of their beloved self-shot doco series Dunies TV, titled Miscommunications & Compromises, set to give fans an in-depth look at the crazy behind-the-scenes life of being a Dunie.

“We pretty much filmed our whole lives in this band over the years so we can entertain ourselves and others,” says drummer BC.

“There’s some fucking funny shit in the archives for people with this sense of humour… There’s probably about four million hours banked up of footage and this season is the best/ most relative shit that we’re keen to drop this year.”

Focusing more on the politics that go into being a full-time band, frontman Danny Beusa notes that “In season two we’re still travelling the world doing stupid shit and playing shows but this time we wanted to show all the compromises and miscommunication that come with running/being part of a band.

We set ourselves some ‘possible/impossible’ missions to see what happens.”

If episode one is anything to go by, asking the organiser of Splendour in the Grass for a big inflatable middle-finger hot-air balloon to take the boys onto stage, lighting cigarettes on electric stove tops in hotels, and throwing weed at diners on the streets of Adelaide is an interesting example of “best/most relative shit.”

Still, if all this sounds like your jam, you can check out episode one, Ideas For Splendour, below.

If the words of director and long-time collaborator Vorn Hunt are anything to go by, we could be in for an interesting ride.

“When I was putting this season together I tried to make every nuts idea the boys came up with a reality… When I get 2am calls asking me to jot down notes like: ‘Two cans of beer have a sword fight and one gets stabbed and is turned into bong then smokes itself’, I know I’ve chosen the right career.”
