Indie six-piece Ben Wells and the Middle Names have announced a run of dates around the country to launch a film clip for their new single “Bear In A Birdcage”. The new single is typical of the Tasmanian group’s snappy, melodic surf-rock and comes cruising along on the backwash of their debut EP.

Tassie act Ben Wells and the Middle Names and Sydney songstress Iluka supplied a night of fantastic music that was enough to warm the hearts of anyone who was drenched from the outside weather.

Ben Wells & The Middle Names (BW&TMN) announce the release of their 2nd single ‘A Good Read’ and December tour dates which will take the Hobart indie pop six piece on an East Coast road trip to Festival of the Sun in Port Macquarie. Along the road they’ll join with some of the finest emerging talents including Undercolours, The Guppies and ILUKA (formerly Nikki Thorburn).

Check one, two… Festival of the Sun is back to finetune your summer, with 3,000 mates, a surfside location and a rocking homegrown line-up.
