To commemorate their incredible one-off performance at Fortitude Music Hall, Bliss n Eso have dropped the first instalment of their Strings Attached documentary series, taking fans behind the scenes of their collaboration with the celebrated, 40-piece Brisbane Symphony Orchestra.

Premiering on YouTube last night, the episode gives audiences a AAA pass to the greenroom, rehearsals, and how the collaboration came to life – with a special live version of hit single ‘OG’s (with The Brisbane Symphony Orchestra)’ the first dynamic recording from the evening to be released.

“Performing ‘OG’s’ live is possibly one of my favourite tracks to perform, the build-up and energy is unmatched. But to have a full orchestra behind you when doing a song like ‘OG’s’ is a whole other vibe, felt like I was on a spaceship in a motion picture film, the raw energy the crowd provides makes it a must for live performances.”

‘OG’s (with The Brisbane Symphony Orchestra)’ follows recent Bliss n Eso single ‘Not Today’, the first from the boisterous trio since The Sun. The ARIA #2 album featured collaborations with Dizzee Rascal, ChillinIt and Kasey Chambers, and led to performance on ABC’s The Sound and Music From The Home Front. The Sun also achieved #1 album on the Australian Independent Record Labels’ Chart and the Australian Vinyl Chart and came with a mammoth headline tour of 29 shows nationally.

Bliss n Eso recently announced a fresh headline tour for November/December. The Wheel Of Tunes dates will see them play cult classics and fan favourites chosen by the crowd live in Adelaide, Melbourne, Brisbane, Sydney, and Fremantle. With seven studio albums and over thirty released singles under their belt, there’ll be no shortage of hits on the wheel, which will be spun by audiences in the room to dictate choose the set list in real time.

‘OG’s (with The Brisbane Symphony Orchestra)’ is just the beginning of this special string of releases for dedicated Bliss n Eso fans – whether they’re reliving the show or experiencing its epicness for the first time.

With more live and reimagined tracks still yet to come, all with incredibly intimate Strings Attached documentary episodes – Christmas has come early.
