Last fall, Vundabar's 2013 song "Alien Blues" became a viral hit via TikTok. They've now re-recorded the song and have brought in Indigo De Souza to sing on it. (Listen below.) They've also just rescheduled their tour. "With the rise of Omicron we're option to move our February and March tour dates to May and June of 2022," says singer/guitarist Brandon Hagen.
