Most of us are fairly familiar with the feeling of suddenly transforming into horrifying unpleasant versions of our regular charming selves when blood sugar is running low (I unfortunately suffer a great deal from the so called food-fits and will easily have a meltdown if hungry), but putting the chart-topping indie-electro Miami Horror in that position seems like no hassle at all for Snickers® Sessions!

As part of the sessions, Aussie band Miami Horror played a very out of the ordinary pop-up gig outside Melbourne’s State Library, while raising money for Heaps Decent. Determined by public vote, the popular Aussie band passionately went to the studio after votes were submitted late August, to record their cover version of the classic The Church tune ‘Under The Milky Way‘.

Although quite out the band’s normal gaming field, it seems being hungry is a good suit for Miami Horror who absolutely rocked the challenge of interpreting the tune. Check it out for yourself - here is an awesome clip of the guys performing their cover of “Under The Milky Way” for the first time live!

Please note that for one year, proceeds from the sale of the song will go towards helping Heaps Decent and continue the non-profit organization’s important work of nurturing the creativity of underpriviliged and indigenous young people.

Betty White on a football pitch? Joe Pesci trying (and failing) to pick up chicks at a frat party? The whole premise behind Snickers’ latest advertising campaign is that “You’re not you when you’re hungry” (speaking of which.. I need to eat some lunch before I turn into Bert Newton).

Which is why The SNICKERS Sessions are raising  money for charity Heaps Decent by asking artists to perform tracks they would never normally consider; such as hip-hop artist Phrase doing a guest performance on Glee, or Miami Horror opening for a death metal band.

A public vote will decide which song each artist will cover and record.  Every vote will raise $1 for Heaps Decent – a not-for-profit initiative committed to the seriously worthy cause of finding and nurturing the creativity of underprivileged and Indigenous young people. The SNICKERS Sessions is hoping to raise a $20,000 donation for Heaps Decent through the voting process.

Here are the tracks Miami Horror could play – it’s all up to you voters! (between you and me though, I reckon they’d smash Under The Milky Way)

The Church – Under the Milky Way

The Models – Out of mind out of sight

The Saints – Stranded

Cast your vote NOW on The Snicker Sessions website

Once the votes are in, each band will rehearse and record their track, releasing it on iTunes on 19 August. All proceeds from the sale of the songs will also go to Heaps Decent.

The entire process will be shared via the website and Facebook page, allowing fans to watch, listen and interact with the bands’ journey.

Chances are if you caught them at The Metro in Sydney on Saturday night, you’re still placing bits of your brain back together. The boys have landed back on home turf after blowing minds at gigs from New York to Mexico to Berlin and Amsterdam.
