With the second leg of their tour starting next week in Australia, RX Bandits have unveiled a few last minute surprises for us, including a few exclusive full album shows in New York City, and their newest music video, for “Hope Is A Butterfly, No Net Its Captor”, off 2009’s Mandala.

As we mentioned a few weeks back, RX Bandits will be performing three successive shows in New York City, from March 25th-27th, at the Gramercy Theatre. However, each of these performances will be its own unique, once-in-a-lifetime experience, as the band will be playing through a live rendition of three of their best-selling records, including The Resignation, And The Battle Begun, and Mandala, over the three-day stretch, performing a different record in its entirety each evening.  And this is on top of stops at  a few of the major festivals. Impressive, no?

As for the video, “Hope Is A Butterfly, No Net Its Captor”,  scroll down to experience this madness for yourself. And while you’re at it, scroll down a little further to catch a glimpse of the bands’ fast-paced promotional tour video, skimming through a short introduction of their own live set-up along with a special sneak peak at Zechs Marquise!
