Come Back

Garageland

Synopsis

Gina Birch (of Brit post-punk outfit The Raincoats) directs this clip. Forest clearing rock conventions rule: band parks tour van in forest; band gets out instruments and plays song in and around (and on top of) van, and on nearby tree stumps, laying on leaf litter; band clowns around - it's all good natural fun in the Flying Nun tradition of simple but effective music videos.

Yea it was about 1998 (seems so long ago). Clanger (AKA Andrew) joined the band when we moved to England. Cracking Vid. Cheers, Mark (bass player)

Hey Robyn -- just checked in with Roger (Shepherd), and he's "pretty sure" the video was from 1998, so we've amended accordingly. Cheers!

Hey, when was this video made? The song is originally off the (brilliant) "Come Back Special" EP from 1995, but back then Debbie Silvey was in the band. She's not in this video - her place is taken by Andrew Claridge. Debbie left the band and Andrew joined in '97, so the video must have been made in '97 or later.
