Sans Parents are the merging of former Hungry Kids of Hungary members with an Andy Bull collaborator.. Sans Parents are the new kids on the block; made up of two former Hungry Kids Of Hungary members - Kane Mazlin, Ryan Strathie - and an Andy Bull collaborator, Alex Bennison. Their debut single Coming Back To You is a snappy piece of garage pop and with aggressive guitar licks laced throughout the track it sees the energy maintained. And the smooth vocal hook it features sees it become something that will stand out. Coming Back You is the first single off a nearly completed but yet unamed album and 2015 shows are expected to be announced in the coming weeks. Follow Sans Parents: FACEBOOK
The band couldn't continue without a key member.
Last chance to see the guys play on home soil this year
A very fresh, urban take on the indie pop tune.
When proceedings wind down with final encore Coming Around, there’s an air of unabashed triumph. Uplifting – and infectious.
"It’s kind of telling a story or working through that experience of beating yourself up and then finding a way to work through it all."
Their buzzy, fuzzy New Pornographers-inspired sound was everything the hipster-heavy crowd could have dreamed of tonight.
Dean McGrath won’t say if he’ll ever release the material though.
“Once the whole album stuff’s done, I’m sort of personally still writing some stuff. But it’s not necessarily Hungry Kids Of Hungary songs. It’s a little personal pet project of mine."
