Two Minutes. That's the song. The song goes for two minutes. Probably unrelated.
Yes the video is another DZ Deathrays tribute video. No it's not wearing thin. Contact Noel Smyth for an authentic recreation.
Bec & Ben are a Sydney-based duo that love messy big riffs, big beats and to-and-fro vocals.
It's fairly clear from the outset this is no cutesy brother and sister folk duo. Unless we're venturing into Cersei & Jamie Lannister territory. Though that would be more creepy than cutesy. But no, they're not siblings, Gumtree brought them together and after intital forays into folk they found their sound with Bec on drums and Ben on guitar.
So far their songs are streams of male/female perspectives on sex, frustration, anxiety, dependence, pride and jealousy, delivered with an energy and sincerity that forces you to take notice.
They've even got a Brisbane connection having recently been announced as a support act for Brisbane's ARIA winning DZ Deathrays when they stop through Sydney on their April national tour.

And here's the DZ Deathrays original.
If that's not enough Dune Rats/DZ Deathrays for you there's an interview below that's taken directly after Dune Rats were done shooting their clip.
When DZ Deathrays are in the kitchen...
It's Peny Lane's third birthday and there's a celebration of sorts being put on by FANS at Alhambra this Friday. The lineup is DZ headlining, with Chicks Who Love Guns and Glass Towers for support. Then there's some people who probably take DJ'ing too seriously on afterward. Oh and it's also the official Children Collide after party as well.

So if you haven't seen it yet Brisbane's own DZ have gotten around to recording a video for their song 'Teeth', released on their EP 'Ruined My Life' late last year. Its shot in and around Brisbane so you might just recognise a couple of spots. Anyhow have a look below.
Brisbane duo DZ have been regarded as one of the 'buzz' bands on the Brisbane music scene for some time now. Establishing a loyal following by playing gigs around town before going on to release their debut EP 'Ruined My Life' through Useless Art Records last September and disappearing into the sunset on a national tour.
The band has a stripped back, dirty punk sound similar to that of early Death From Above 1979, something that you can picture emanating from the basement of a packed house party as drunken youths stumble up and down the stairs. Check it out below, coupled with some of the best low budget music clips you'll see.
The local boys were scheduled to be playing the now canceled Lost Weekend Festival this weekend but will keep themselves busy as they go on tour with established Australian icons Grinspoon for the rest of the month. If you want to catch them as the headline act though they'll be back in town in April to play the Zoo as part of the 'Batten Down the Hatches Tour'.
