New video and fall tour dates for 2010
Off the sophomore album from Australia’s Midnight Juggernauts, Crystal Axis, comes the single and video “Lara Vs The Savage Pack”. The highly creative video was shot frame by frame, then re-shot using over 2000 printed pieces of paper. I dig the quasi-psychedelic animations; half kaliedescope, half paper madness.
