Ahead of the tour, the Deep South’s ebullient purveyors of melody, rhythm and anomalous harmonies will release their debut single ‘Up Up Up’ via Glassnote Records/ Island Records on 1st August.
The video for ‘Up Up Up’ was directed by Tim Nackashi (Death Cab for Cutie, TV On The Radio, Robyn & Rye Rye) and has already had over 44,000 hits.
Based in Lafayette, Louisiana, the quintet was formed by Taylor Guarisco (singer & guitarist) and Tiffany Lamson (singer, ukulele & percussionist), who met at the University of New Orleans. When Hurricane Katrina hit, it forced the two back to their home of Lafayette where they met Kirby Campbell (drums, programming & vocals), Nick Stephan (keyboards & flute) and Josh LeBlanc (bass guitar) and began to form the basis for Givers.
