Empire of the Sun fans and musos across the world got to see and hear a live broadcast from Empire of the Sun for the very first time on July 22.

It occurred for 6 minutes and 39 seconds shortly after 1:00pm (Australian EST) during the longest solar eclipse of the 21st century. The eclipse took place throughout the Asia Pacific region, visible only in Australia from the very tip of far North Queensland.

This is epic. I hope these guys tour through North America at some point. If you haven’t already checked out our interview with front man Nick Littlemore, read that here.
