"The community camp dogs act like the boss of the streets."
Following a run of sold out headline shows, King Stingray are keeping the vibes high releasing new single Camp Dog.
The band's fourth single is a tribute to the cheeky canines that roam the streets of Yirrkala, the home town in North East Arnhem Land that King Stingray grew up in.
Camp Dog follows on from breakthrough hits for the band, including Milkumana and Get Me Out which placed in last years triple j Hottest 100 at number 56 and 46 respectively.
"The community camp dogs act like the boss of the streets," explains guitarist Roy Kellaway.
"Kids often have to walk the long way home to avoid them. But it's not about fear. It's about our adoration of the character and personality of the community dogs and their funny traits.
"Flea-ridden, cane toad-lickin', fish carcass-eating camp dogs. We love them, and this is a story of our life with them."
