Good Boy has released their visual for the single “A Waste Of Approximately 122 Million Dollars (Taxpayer Funded)”, which is their second single from the hyper-intelligent EP Shirk Life This EP will be unveiled in due November 10 via Baarely Dressed Records.
The upcoming EP will be on a limited edition 12 vinyl, packaged with their earlier standout EP Plum. To secure the double EP you can pre-order it here.
The song is about the frustration and self-explanatory message about the absurd, insulting and embarrassing marriage equality plebiscite in Australia, which Rian King says like this:
“122 million dollars of public funding for an opinion is disgusting. In NZ all they had to do was sign a piece of paper and go to lunch but our pathetic bureaucracy-obsessed need to spend money and time, distracts from what should already be legal. There is no valid argument against same sex marriage.”
The visual that was made in claymation for the single “A Waste Of Approximately 122 Million Dollars (Taxpayer Funded)” was directed by Fin Marx. The director describes how he viewed the video, and how it was supposed to be seen as.
“The video was more of a fun arts and crafts project for our sharehouse than anything. We had a limited time frame and budget so we figured ‘why not a claymation?’ and blindly went from there. There’s a lot of little inside jokes (like Rian’s dancing) that I hope brings the fans a little closer to what the band are all really like.”
