MUNA

RELEASE NEW SINGLE

“ONE THAT GOT AWAY”

BAND DEBUTED SONG LIVE FRIDAY AT COACHELLA

SUPPORTING TAYLOR SWIFT ON THE ERAS TOUR

SOLD OUT NORTH AMERICAN LIFE’S SO FUN

HEADLINE TOUR BEGINS NOW!

MUNA are at the top of their game and only getting better. The band just made their first ever Coachella appearance where they played an electric set including the debut of their brand new song “One That Got Away.” Fans who caught their Coachella debut this past weekend immediately went wild for the new song. Following its worldwide premiere earlier today as “Hottest Record In The World” on BBC Radio 1, everyone can officially hear the song and watch the cinematic video directed by Ally Pankiw and Taylor James, starring Australian actor/singer Caitlin Stasey alongside Katie, Josette and Naomi.

Katie Gavin of MUNA had this to say about the new music: “This song is just rubbing your hot ass in the face of someone who messed up their chance of being with you. It’s a bit vengeful and mean, but also fun. Fuck it. Once I sent Naomi and Jo the demo they really took the cockiness in the lyric and vocal performance and carried it to the extreme with the production of the track. It became this super bombastic, Janet Jackson-era track. Ally Pankiw, who directed the music video with Taylor James, then came up with the idea of putting the music video in a criminal underworld, which we thought fit perfectly.  Plus we wanted an excuse to dress Jo up like The Bear.”

Billboard called MUNA’s Coachella performance, where they live-debuted “One That Got Away” and were also joined on stage with boygenius to perform “Silk Chiffon,” “one of the best jam sessions of the day — and perhaps weekend.”

MUNA’s live show is so undeniably compelling that it landed the band on nine of Taylor Swift’s The Eras US tour dates, the first of which they played at the end of March. They spent the earlier part of March in Australia where they supported Lorde and co-headlined Sydney WorldPride. Also while in Australia and in celebration of the 25th anniversary of Celine Dion’s hit “My Heart Will Go On,” the band delivered a spellbinding and emotional cover of the song for Triple j’s Like a Version.

In between Coachella and Taylor Swift dates, MUNA are on their very own headline tour which is close to being a complete sell out. The tour includes Bonnaroo Music Festival, Capitol Hill Block Party and a performance with Austin City Limits Live at the Moody Theater in Austin later this month. Fans can watch the highly-anticipated taping free in its entirety here on the ACLTV YouTube Channel at 8 p.m. CT on Monday, April 24; the broadcast episode will air on PBS as part of their upcoming Season 49.

MUNA have also announced more dates internationally including UK and European dates with boygenius as well as some headlines and several festivals. You can read all about their live journey both past and present in their recent Pollstar cover feature here.

“MUNA is truly undeniable.” – NPR

“The Muna album is one of my favorite albums of the past 10 years.” – Variety

“The band is now on the verge of breaking out of its cult following and bringing its anthems about queer joy to a wider audience.” – New York Times

“Their self-titled third album explodes like a burst of stardust, replete with queer statements of purpose.” – Pitchfork

“Their most confident album yet.” – People Magazine

“The glittering crown jewel of their self-titled third studio album” – TIME Magazine on “Kind of Girl”

“MUNA’s self-titled debut is a portrait of a band perfectly in its element” – Exclaim!

“MUNA stand out in part because of the band’s open embrace of something that’s still a rarity in the music landscape: queer intimacy. On a number of their songs, MUNA’s members – lead singer and songwriter Katie Gavin and guitarists Naomi McPherson and Josette Maskin – convert into text the sorts of notions and emotions that in bygone decades had to be subtext.” – CNN

“Brilliant New Album….” “ LA Trio’s Thumping third LP could launch them to mainstream stardom” – Spin

“MUNA always reminds me that there’s nothing quite like the power of music” – The Daily Beast

“MUNA’s extraordinary talent as a band is the ability to be completely intimate in their lyricism ― they have mastered the art of placing delicate emotion in listeners’ hands without ever making it feel too heavy to carry.” – HuffPost

“The trio’s self-titled third album offers a type of pleasure that’s hard to find much of these days: complex but uncomplicated, emotionally intelligent, and aimed at transcendence.” – FLOOD

“The trio are proving that they can have the time of their life while embracing tenderness and vulnerability.” – Alternative Press Cover Story

“This really feels like their moment now.” – Elle

“This summer is going to belong to MUNA.” – Nylon

“”Muna is the trio’s most fluid and honest effort to date.” – UPROXX

“The trio have glided right to a new height in their career.” – Consequence

“MUNA…has mastered the art of creating music and lyrics that can be both sung at the top of your lungs while jumping up and down with a throng of queer people and sung at the top of your lungs on a solo walk home, tears streaming down your face.” – W Magazine

“Lyrically clever, sonically lush, powerful, and unarguably catchy AF” – Relix

“It’s nice to hear from the band, their urgency to create art that depicts the beautiful mundane in queer life, especially when representation for so long has only resembled representation of the worst parts of queer life.” – Teen Vogue
