not really sure why they’re called Black Bananas or what Powder 8 Eeeeeeeeight means, or if it’s really necessary to elongate the word eight, but we know we like it.

To celebrate the upcoming release of their second album ‘Electric Brik Wall’, front woman Jennifer Herrema has shared the video for the new track; think big fur, big fringes and a lot of flippin’ reverb.

The band have also just announced a bunch of upcoming European tour dates, so if you’re digging their fruity, if not slightly over-ripe funk, check out the list below.
