The Parlotones - Orchestrated

Are you a big fan of The Parlotones?

Well, if you are, then you know that their new 'The Parlotones Orchestrated DVD & CD is out now, & is available in music stores nationwide.

The DVD, filmed over 2 'sold out' evenings at The Teatro at Montecasino, is the must have item for local & international fans. The Parlotones display contemporary, yet classical versions of their acclaimed discography, whilst treating fans to everything that they love about the band.

Kahn Morbee, lead vocalist of The Parlotones said that; "Orchestrated has been an incredible journey for us a band. Our main objective was to re-work many of our songs by incorporating a chamber ensmble led by Brendan Jury. The process was very meticulous as we wanted to create alternate versons of the tracks & not just add strings, etc to a song, thereby giving our fans a whole new experience of songs they have been listening to over the years.

Check out the EPK for Orchestrated the DVD here.

You can also download the live CD here.
