Indie-Rock group and South Africa natives The Parlotones will remain busy for the remainder of the year as they release a new album, perform at the 2010 FIFA kick-off concert, and continue touring around the globe to promote their new album Stardust Galaxies. The band's current hit "Push Me To The Floor". has won "Best Music Video of the Year" and "Best Rock Album" at the 2010 South African Music Awards. Featuring 12 tracks, Stardust Galaxies was released in the U.K. on June 4th, and will have a North American release in Fall 2010.

After the album is released, The Parlotones will follow-up with a worldwide tour including a major stop at the 2010 FIFA Kick-Off Concert. At 8pm local time, The Parlotones will take the stage to perform in Johannesburg, South Africa at the newly renovated Orlando Stadium. Following their performance at the 2010 FIFA Kick-Off Concert, The Parlotones will follow-up with tours in Switzerland, Germany, and France. Consisting of band members Neil Pauw (Drums), Kahn Morbee (Vocals), Paul Hodgson (Guitar/Keyboard), and Glenn Hodgson (Bass Guitar), The Parlotones have achieved worldwide success and high status due to their remarkable talent, drive, and other business endeavors. Over the previous 18 months, The Parlotones have played a sold-out 300-date world tour with stops in the United Kingdom, United States, Germany, France, Italy, and Spain just to name a few. The Parlotones were the first South African band to headline a concert at the Dome in Johannesburg, performing in front of 12,000 fans.

In 2009, Hands On Wine (a source branding musical artists with specialty wines) founded The Parlotones' own specialty branded wine called Giant Mistake. According to Hands on Wine's official website, lead singer Kahn Morbee dreamed of creating a boutique wine, thus creating the specialty wine collection called Giant Mistake. There have been 2 specialty wines formed off of popular songs from The Parlotones including Giant Mistake and Push Me To The Floor. There is a third specialty wine in the works, with the name yet to be released. During 2010, The Parlotones are finding instant success with their music, tours, and other business endeavors.
