The Kiffness, local electronica band that are following in Goldfish’s footsteps have released a new music video, and it’s a stonker. It’s all about Bobo who goes on a moon safari, and takes a 3-iron with.

Dave Scott, Mike Scott and Mvelo Shandu make up The Kiffness who say “they’ll have you headbanging, doing the running man and even attempting some African pantsula with their mixture of vibey and upbeat “choons””. Fair enough. This is what drummer Mike had to say about the video’s conception:

I’m stoked to finally have this video up. I started it months ago, wanting to put a couple ideas together that I’d always wanted to do – something involving the moon (I’m kind of fascinated by the moon and space), golf on the moon, a really long widescreen aspect ration, vast spaces, and this little alien creature called ‘Bobo’ that has these glowing eyes. I storyboarded some stuff and figured out a neat little story. I did this project inbetween commercial animation work, and really enjoyed doing it. I’ve found that having these side-passion-projects rock and keep me inspired. At one point I deleted the entire project’s folder by mistake and recovered only a few things, but used the renders I had and built on that. Originally this was going to run about 7:00 minutes but after testing out a couple songs, we decided that ‘Mr. Incredible’ (a song both my brother and I made) seemed to be a pretty good fit, so I edited it down to the song’s format, my brother added some additional sound effects, and we were good to go.

The video is planned to be part of a ‘Machinima’ exhibition happening at a very cool gallery in Los Angeles called ‘iam8bit’.”

More brilliant local talent. Keep up the work guys.
