Following the release of Makes a King earlier this year, The Very Best are finally set to embark on a US tour. Among the Swedish-Malawian duo’s stops is a free outdoor show at Northside Festival. If you haven’t done so already, we suggest getting your RSVP in now (HEEMS is also on the bill). 

In anticipation of their North American visit, they have released a video for their album’s title track, Makes a King. Wonderfully crafted by photographer Sean Stromsoe, the band’s joyous brand of global pop serves as an excellent soundtrack to images taken of Ethiopia Skate, a community organization and collective with limited resources that are bringing together youth interested in skating. You can find out more about Ethopia Skate and how you can help their cause at their website. 

Check out the video as well as The Very Best’s upcoming tour schedule below. And if you haven’t done so already, you can download Makes a King at iTunes.
