Those strapping young lads from Yves Klein Blue have been busy plying their trade overseas, and they’ve sent FasterLouder a gallery of happy snaps.

Last month, the band ventured to the Great Escape Festival in Brighton to fly the Aussie flag alongside the likes of The Temper Trap, The John Steel Singers and British India. Their adventures continued throughout the UK and America, playing intimate clubs and generally having an enviable time. Check out what YKB got up to in the great beyond.

With feet planted back on familiar ground, the band has just released its debut album, Ragged & Ecstatic. They’re currently in the midst of a headline tour (and having no trouble selling out shows), which will conclude with a spot at Splendour In The Grass.

To celebrate the album, YKB are giving away a free download of new song Make Up Your Mind via their Twitter. To get the MP3, you just need to – œTweet’ a message to your followers. Then you can take part in a competition to watch YKB side-of-stage at Splendour. It’ll all make sense here.
