Premiere: Listen to ‘You’re So Shy’ From the Forthcoming UV Race Film

Watch a teaser video from the Melbourne punks second feature film 'The UV Race Disgrace Space'.

With Melbourne punks UV Race finishing up their second film The UV Race Disgrace Space, the band’s guitarist and saxophonist Georgia Rose just dropped by the Noisey office with a teaser video for “You’re So Shy’”, a song that will feature in the film.

The sequel to 2012’s Autonomy and Deliberation, which was also shot by Johann Rashid, continues with the band getting offered to play an intergalactic show. What follows is adventure and hi-jinx involving space terrorists and even a steamy R-rated sex scene starring lead man Marcus Rechsteiner.

The video for “You’re So Shy” was shot and edited by Georgia and involves Marcus and the band performing in front of a green screen that includes pingers, chandeliers and yes, space.

Watch the video below and read a chat we had with Georgia before she rushed out the door.

Noisey: What’s the latest with the film?
Georgia Rose: Well it’s all filmed. It's all done. It just needs some editing and the over dubs of course.

And this song will be on the new soundtrack?
Yeah the song is actually released in the film when Alex [keyboardist Alex Glasov] goes on a talk show.

It’s one of your slower jams.
Yes, the UV Race likes to vary it up. We don’t live in a pigeonhole.

Is it about anyone in the film in particular?
The song itself is about having to take drugs to be confident.

I like that the green screen has a combination of pills, space and chandeliers. Are these meant to represent or symbolise anything?
I guess the pills and the drugs are about getting high to help get through awkward social situations. Perhaps you could say the other things are connected to the movie because they are about space or getting to space. It’s all a bit of a trip.

Will you be releasing a soundtrack with the film like you did for Autonomy and Deliberation?
Yes. It’s all recorded it was done last year, or maybe even the year before. Things really chug along with the UV Race.

'The UV Race Disgrace Space' will be released in 2016.

Catch UV Race performing with Thee Oh Sees in Melbourne at Howler on Jan 21.
