The Goon Sax

Brisbane, Australia’s strummy indie pop trio The Goon Sax have a new video for charming single “Boyfriend,” which is from their forthcoming debut album. All three members write and sing and this one features guitarist Louis Forster. Say the band of the song and video:

“Boyfriend” was the third song we wrote for our upcoming album Up To Anything. The song was written in 10 minutes in Louis’ bedroom in March 2014. Two years later we’ve made a video for it! The video was shot on a Tuesday night at a University studio in Brisbane, with the help of camera wizard Alfie Brimblecombe, who also features as the boyfriend. The idea for the video was fuelled by Louis’ lifelong dream to perform on Top Of The Pops. Although you may not see it, the video features last minute haircuts, costume changes, November heat, accidental colour co-ordination and failed attempts to make things float with helium. The result is a literal depiction of the lyrics paired with white studio sheen.

Watch the video below. Their album, Up to Anything, is out March 11, 2016 via Chapter Music.

Meanwhile, Louis’ father, Robert Forster (of The Go-Betweens) released Songs to Play, his first solo album since 2008, this year and it’s excellent. If you haven’t checked it out, listen via Spotify below.
