With their newest single 'I Am What You Want Me To Be' available now via iTunes and all good digital stores, The Jungle Giants are thrilled to reveal a series of tour dates this July.

'I Am What You Want Me To Be'  is one of a vivid and youthful collection of songs the band recorded earlier this year with renowned producer Magoo at Applewood Studios. The song is a vibrant reminder that individual pursuits and desires are the key to happiness. "There's more reward in chasing a dream than living life according to someone else's shitty rules," says the band's front man Sam Hales.   Following on from 2012's 'She's a Riot' and earlier favourites such as 'Mr Polite' and 'No One Needs to Know', 'I Am What You Want Me To Be' reflects The Jungle Giants' own evolution. "I think the band is headed towards a pretty cool space now," says Sam, who formed The Jungle Giants in 2011 with his friends Cesira Aitken (guitar) and Andrew Dooris (bass). Drummer Keelan Bijker later completed the group as the band's drummer. "I feel like the concepts on the album are more mature... I guess it's just growing up, or experiencing life as an independent person for the first time."   It's been an eventful start for The Jungle Giants. In 2011 Sam Hales was awarded Arts Queensland's Billy Thorpe scholarship for emerging musicians. The band's debut EP and its 2012 follow up both received generous praise and saw the band emerge with a solid and ever-growing fan base, further fueled by a series of plum supports, festival spots and sell-out club shows. This July will see The Jungle Giants continue to enthral audiences with their unique spin on energetic indie rock.

The Jungle Giants play Oh Hello on Friday 12 July and will be joined by The Belligerents and Young Men Dead.
