Parlotones Broadcast Rock Opera to Worldwide Audience -- Exclusive Video

The ParlotonesGino DePinto for AOL

The Parlotones, the raucous four-piece from Johannesburg, South Africa, have basically been living on the road for the past year, playing sold-out shows all over the world. Taking time out of their busy workload, the band sat down with Spinner to discuss their newest project 'Dragonflies and Astronauts.'

"It's a theatrical rock opera reminiscent of Pink Floyd's 'The Wall,'" guitarist Kahn Morbee tells Spinner. "What's unique about it is not only are we performing in front of a live audience, it's simultaneously going to be broadcast in 3D to cinemas both in South Africa and world wide."

Watch the full interview with the Parlotones below and visit AOL Music's SXSW site for more Live from Austin video interviews.

Kahn and Paul were great [as always] but the interviewer needs to write down some questions. How lame is it to ask, You know, like, what's that like? Seriously???
