When Sydney’s These New South Whales shot this video half the band was splitting their time between the US and France, and the rest were in Sydney. To get around being separated by 15,988 km they shot the clip in two parts. Looking at it, the guys overseas were in a way better place than their Australian counterparts. After watching guitarist Todd Andrews vomit on himself we thought maybe we should check in to see how he’s goingNOISEY: Nice field, where is that?
Todd Andrews: I think it was in central France, Obterre maybe?That bit makes sense, what was going on with the rest of the video?
Well the other guys were on a working holiday. They were taking a VISA break from a record they're working on in New York. They filmed that and said, "Here you go, now film your half". We were at our homes in Sydney, not having an awesome working holiday. Since we were living the opposite so we thought we'd shoot the opposite.Wait, that wasn’t shot in your house was it?
It was our mate Hari's house. That's his cat and bed behind us. And his vegemite jar we were eating out of. Hari makes all our clips and artwork. He's demented.His house isn't really a slum though right?
No it's not a slum. Well usually it isn’t. It’s actually Jamie our singer’s old bedroom.No wonder he moved away. What’s on your face?
Vegemite and honey.See that’s not too bad. What about the copious amounts of vomit?
Oh that’s tinned peas, tinned carrots, and creamed corn. We got pretty creative with that.You’ve gotta get that right. How did it taste?
The creamed corn was the strongest flavour of the lot. So it was kind of sweet and didn’t taste that bad considering how it looked.Was you mum bummed out when she saw you puking on yourself and rolling around like a junkie cat?
You know I’m not sure if mum's seen this one. She definitely would have said something if she had, maybe I won’t bring it up around her. My little cousins run around singing the words to our previous single “Adam” all the time. We’re pretty big with kids.Is that why you duct tape your nipples, keeping it clean for the kids?
Nah we’re just a bunch of fairly androgynous bros and it's kind of just turned into our look. Kind of like how slipknot get into character when they put on their masks and puke all inside them to get in the zone. That's what it's like for us with the nipple tape.You love puke.
Yeah. To be honest the no shirt kind of started out as a sexy thing, and the nipple tape provides a bit of modesty.That’s admirable, Do the different patterns in the duct tape mean anything?
Nah. They're just trademarks like the way ninja turtles have colours and different weapons.Don’t you get cold?
Yeah it gets cold, but we usually play in smallish clubs with a fairly hectic strobe, so the show's are usually pretty hot. The creamed-corn vomit was pretty cold on our chests though.Alright, as long as you’re okay buddy.These New South Whales new album Syndey is out September 1.
