Blowin' Dirt

Goodshirt

Synopsis

Goodshirt's attention-grabbing promos were typified by high concepts rendered with low-budget No 8 wire smarts — with game particpation from the band members. This mind-bending creation by director (and ex-Supergroover) Joe Lonie is no exception: a Mazda 929 (or an Austin 1300 if you watch the video's other version) is re-deconstructed, before leaving in a cloud of smoke, loaded with frog men. Lead singer Rodney Fisher's is the stand out performance, he had to sing every lyric backwards to achieve the desired time-and-space-warping end result.
