More about: Cleopatrick

Cleopatrick have shared the music video for their latest single, ‘FAMILY VAN’ – an ode to the band’s beloved touring van, Vannah Montana.

‘FAMILY VAN’, released last month, comes from their upcoming debut BUMMER which will arrive 4 June on Nowhere Special Recordings.

Just as the cathartic song builds up to a big, noisy chorus, the music video features a strobe-light personal rave in an empty parking lot in the middle of the night. It perfectly reflects the frustration and darkness of the song.

Frontman Luke talks about the video here:

Vannah Montana is Ian’s mini-van we’ve spent the last three years touring North America in. This video was conceptualized 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.”

BUMMER is set for release 4 June, and cleopatrick will be touring the UK later this year.
