RX Bandits - Hope Is A Butterfly…

RX Bandits today premiered (finally) their first promo video for a Mandala track, namely Hope Is A Butterfly, No Net It’s Captor, one of the best tracks from my top album of 2009. This is the first promo vid the band have released that isn’t simply them performing a song somewhere, but despite the slick production it still has that home-made feel that encapsulates Bandits (large parts of the last 2 albums were recorded in vocalist Matt Embree’s garage, aka The Elizabethan, which also doubles as the head office of his record label Mash Down Babylon).

The video features the band dressed as Tarantino-esque henchmen, but with cardboard weapons and paper-bag masks, rolling around a neighbourhood and stealing coloured shapes. Yeah, it makes no sense but then most music videos don’t, and it looks nice so fuck it.
