Vanderuit On Kisschasy’s New Video
Kisschasy bassist Joel Vanderuit spoke with Time Off magazine about the video to the band’s new single ‘Opinions Won’t Keep You Warm At Night’, the lead single from ‘Hymns For The Non-Believer.’ The satirical film clip for the track features the boys donning Bush, Blair, Howard, and Cheney masks and dating each other. “It’s not a direct stab at a direct issue or even a direct person – we just kind of think that these guys are a bit of a joke,” Vanderuit explained. “It’s not an angry stab, it’s just our way of saying that we don’t really respect them that highly. It was something different and a little bit of fun – to poke fun at someone without being too serious and angry about it. When you decide to do a clip, you put the call out and directors come in with treatments: you get so many and 90 percent of them are just rubbish. All the ones we had were crap, so we thought, ‘We can write a better video than this!’. Sean [Thomas – guitar] came up with the idea for the clip, and we all kind of liked it. It was light-hearted and sounded like a bit of fun, so we just went with that. It’s doing its job.” The article at timeoff.com.au has since been removed.
