Seeing as we’ve got a sweet new EP on the way we decided to shoot a music video for one of the tracks. So this weekend we rented some puke-stained fancy dress costumes and video equipment and headed on the biggest mission around Cape Town we’ve been on since Matt tried to track down the one and only chick thats ever responded positively to the sexual harassment he routinely shouts from open car windows.

shooting 18 locations in 2 days was an incredibly sweaty task made no easier by the man-camel toe inducing outfits. It was however an awesome weekend and the footage is looking amazing.

A special thanks goes out to Richard “Dick balls” Bolland for directing, filming, editing, not masturbating too much on set and owning a camera. Thanks also to Brandon, Sophie, Emma, Jess, Dom, Poo-Leg Greg and all the sexy extras for being absolute players and helping make the shoot a success.

Watch this space for the video.

Our tame trombonist (who moonlights as a shady online pedoohile poker player) Mathew Willis has been given the awesome opportunity of going to Vegas for a month to play poker and marry a pre-op transvestite stripper. So for the next insanely busy, football fan-filled month we’re gonna have our old buddy and ex Captain Stu member Clement “The Clemforcer” Carr filling in on sexyphone and  keyplank. 

So you guys may have been wondering where we’ve been since our last gig, which was just before the dinosaurs died off due to a mass suicide cult started by a crafty pterodactyl, and the answer is quite simple. We’ve been drawing penises on things, making coffee, seeing how many days in a row we can wear the same trousers, making rather a large mess and writing, crafting, rewritng, scrapping, re-looking and finally recording some new songs for our upcoming EP. 

As you can see, cousin It very kindly offered us his studio, which was awesome.

But even more awesome (though and slightly less Adams Familyish) was that we’ve had the privilege of recording our 5 new tracks with SAMA winning (and goth-chick digging) producer/engineer Neal Snyman. Which has been more awesome than a deep-fried pizza burger.

We’ve almost finished all of the tracking and are really excited about how it’s sounding so far. We’ll be keeping you posted on the progress as well as the sweet launch party we’re organising.
