Todays GIGsoup “Track of the Day” was an easy one to choose. Static Jacks have unveiled a new video for the extremely catchy “Wallflowers“, from the forthcoming “In Blue” LP.
On making the video the band explains: “We wanted to make an old school music video that told a story which is pretty different from what most music videos are today. We had the idea to riff on the plots of both “Weird Science” and “Romeo and Juliet”. We had no idea how to make that happen at all until director, Zak Stoltz, sent us his vision for it and it blew our minds. We collected all our old 90’s memorabilia and basically made a tiny short film.”
Static Jacks have also announced new headlining autumn tour dates in support of the LP, out September 30th via Old Friends Records. “In Blue“ is available for pre-order via the band’s website and digitally through iTunes.
