The Video Kid

Synopsis

Flight of the Conchords star and Black Seeds/Wellington International Ukulele Orchestra musician Bret McKenzie goes early morning skateboarding in his hometown environs, in this music video for his solo side project The Video Kid. The downbeat groove of the folk-electronica number is a perfect match for a glorious 'on a good day' dawn as the sun rises over Mt Matthews and the crew cruise down Alexandra Road and along Mt Victoria's town belt; later in the golden light they claim a deserted golden mile (Lambton Quay) for the skaters. Chur!
