The folks at the Australian Musician magazine office are finding it hard to not to groove to this infectious track from Aston Shuffle. Co-written with and featuring the vocals of Sydney songstress Elizabeth Rose, ASTON SHUFFLE’S “Back & Forth” marries classic RNB pop vibes with a driven house beat to create a hooky sing-a-long story of a bad relationship as stuck on repeat as the single is likely to be.
The colourful clip, directed by Alex de Bonrepos and with a cameo from comedy legend Andy Dick, tells the same story; Girl ditches bad boy, hangs with nice guys but can’t find contentment, ends up with worse bad boys and finally decides to break the loop.
The Back & Forth Remix EP is now available and coincides with the band announcing new and sold out dates on their forthcoming Photographs National Live Tour as well as new supports and guests. The Astons will take the stage at North West Festival in Port Hedland on their way to Perth, and Melbourne is getting one more night with the announcement of a second performance at The Corner Hotel on Thursday September 4th with the Friday 5th show sold all the way out. The boys are also bringing some friends along for the ride, adding vocalists Greg Gould and Cultra to the show, and inviting 17 year old wunderkind Just A Gent as main national support. But before it all kicks off they’ll take their live show to the US for the first time, performing at the prestigious Full Moon Festival at Governors Island in NYC on August 8th. Back & Forth, the new album Photographs, and the National Live Tour are all on sale now at www.theastonshuffle.com
