Friends, one of our favorite neighborhood bands, premiered their newest video for song “Va Fan Gör Du” on Stereogum yesterday. The dance-punk-pop band are one of the bands to successfully fly furthest from the nest, becoming a news staple on music blogs and having been signed to Lucky Number & Fat Possum Records. We like them so much we recently featured their single “Friend Crush” in the soundtrack to our Night in Bushwick video! They returned not long ago from performing at the Festival Circuit and touring all over Europe, perhaps where they got the inspiration for this jangly tune, which features an addictive chanting chorus and teetering guitarline …

The video itself must make you laugh.  If you’re not laughing, you’ve seen way too much weird stuff already in your life. A mesh of bizarre characters, ’80s costumes and floaty ’90s video editing- it’s a mash up made in sleeze heaven. Drag Queens (surprisingly very attractive) gasp in disgust as the cross-dressing, uni-brow rocking meat butchers (not as sexy), who get smeared in chocolate syprup while jiggling their tongues and waving their knives at their intended “pieces of meat.”
