Tkay Maidza Drops ‘M.O.B.’ Video and a National Tour Announcment

Just days after dominating the Splendour in the Grass stage and support spots with Mark Ronson, Tkay Maidza has announced a national tour and premiered the animated adventure video for her current hit single ‘M.O.B’  on Stereogum. Kicking off in Canberra in September and ending in Melbourne three weeks later, the eleven date tour with special guests Willow Beats, Porches and L.K. McKayincludes a number of all age and under 18 shows and will be Tkay’s final headline club tour for the year. Her extended April tour sold out faster than a karate kick so fans are advised to be quick when tickets go on sale at 9am, Monday 3 August.

The ‘M.O.B’ clip – her second project working with cult animation institution Adult Swim – sees the return of the cartoon Tkay depicted in last year’s ‘Switch Lanes’and introduces a new badass space Maidza. In a blaze of lasers, spaceship drag races and mad skills, the two battle it out in the quest to reign as the ultimate Tkay. Strap yourself in, choose a side and get ready to join the intergallactic battle between good and evil.

The video brings to (computer-generated) life the essence of the song, which was written as a letter to the nineteen-year-old’s future self, a declaration to always work hard without complaining, stay focused and channel ambition as a weapon for success.Since its realease “M.O.B.” has topped the alternative radio airplay charts and is now making an imprint on commercial radio following her sold-out M.O.B. National Australian Tour, supports with Charli XCX and recent UK tour with band of the moment Years & Years.
