cleopatrick have released a video for their latest single FAMILY VAN, taken from their forthcoming debut album BUMMER. The single-shot video is a tribute to cleopatrick’s minivan Vannah Montana.
“Vannah Montana is Ian’s mini-van we’ve spent the last three years touring North America in,” says frontman Luke Gruntz. “This video was conceptualised by us, and shot and directed by Boy Wonder. We filmed it in the parking lot of our rundown hometown mall in the middle of the night. We didn’t have a permit to film there, and almost didn’t finish the video because someone called the cops on us after seeing the strobe lights from the road – but in a classic small town twist of fate, the officer that rolled up to kick us out happened to have played hockey as a child with one of our friends in the video, so he let us finish filming. This was our last take.”
