Mumford and Sons are returning to Oz

The British folk rock band that made strumming a banjo somewhat sexy, have announced that they are returning to Australia to tour throughout October.

The boys are back in town!....in October

Marcus, Ben, "Country" and Ted will be visiting Perth, Adelaide, Brisbane, Sydney, Hobart, Melbourne, Canberra, Cairns, Townsville and the Gold Cost, bringing Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros and Willy Mason along for the ride.

The British group have been prolific across Australian radio since the release of "Little Lion Man" in 2010 - the single that beat out Lady Gaga for Most Popular International Artist Award at the 2010 ARIA Award Show.

Whilst they do not douse themselves in fake blood or perform with exaggerated theatrics, the band with the "wholesome family business name," produce a folk rock sound that sings to the heart and lyrics with deeper meaning than most.

Mumford and Sons feature on OST for
the new Disney movie "Brave"

This year, Mumford and Sons feature on the soundtrack for the greatly anticipated Disney flick "Brave" (currently screening in Australia) - the track "Learn Me Right," is performed with English singer Birdy. The catch is you have to download the entire album off itunes - not a bad thing if your current itunes playlists includes orchestral scores from movies such as "Titanic" and "Braveheart".

Tickets for Mumford and Sons go on sale 9am, Monday the 9th of July. To see when the boys will be near you, check out the dates below. You can also touch base with Mumford and Sons via their facebook page or twitter.
