They are many things — talented, energetic, wonderfully odd — but you could never, ever accuse Brisbane band Osaka Punch of being boring.

Currently in the midst of a sizeable tour in support of recent jazz-tinged, funky single How We Operate — which frontman Jack Muzak penned while stuck in a Manila sex hotel, just FYI — the fun-loving prog lords have dropped the tune's excellent new video.

Fortitude Valley locals will no doubt revel in the precinct's prominent role in the clip, which sees its protagonist decked out in an utterly fabulous bandleader get-up — courtesy Kate Rose (Flared) and Eliza Minto (Features for Creatures) —spreading his infectious energy, on foot and even while driving a giant disco shoe (loaned from the good folks at The Wonky Queenslander) to all who cross his path.

It's a positively delightful, delirious scene, endearing and amusing in equal measure, as the Pied Piper of Prog proves an irresistible party-starter for the pedestrians in his proximity, all spliced up with footage of the band rocking out as only they do in the comfy surrounds of the nearby Kwan Bros bar and restaurant.

The video was directed by Dan Macarthur and Mel Poole, with visual effects by Georgie Pinn, styling by Elle Lavon and hair and make-up by Tiffany Beckwith-Skinner.

Osaka Punch continue their How We Operate tour in Newcastle tomorrow, at the Small Ballroom, before heading on to Sydney, Wollongong, Brisbane, Maroochydore, Bunbury, Margaret River and Perth, so there's still plenty of chances to sort a ticket to catch the irreverent outfit in their inimitable glory when they roll through to your neck of the woods (sans giant disco shoe, unfortunately).
