PREMIERE: Osaka Punch - Make The Call

Brisbane prog-metal lords Osaka Punch have outdone themselves with their newest clip, following on from the streetside air-guitar madness of Stonk by loading up their frontman, Jack Muzak, with LSD and sending him on a journey to the city's annual Ekka event at the Showgrounds.

For those who have never braved the technicolour terror that is the Ekka — rife as it is with carnival rides and transient merchants and abundant influenza — it is an adventure that is scary enough to undertake when sober, probably even more so when you're in the throes of a trip, trying to contend with all the deafening screaming coming from those rotating clown heads — can't anyone else hear that?! — and trying not to focus too hard on the fact you're pretty sure the ferris wheel is actually breathing. A blur of lights, rides, slinkies and faces ensues — as far as we're aware, Muzak survived the experience to play another day but, Jesus, it looks like it was touch-and-go there for a while.

The clip — which starts with a little two-minute sketch about the band trying to come up with an idea for their new video before settling on 'take acid at the Ekka', as you do — accompanies the ultra-funky new single, taken from the band's forthcoming EP, Death Monster Super Squad, which is due for release in just under a couple weeks' time.

To celebrate the release, the band will be embarking on a titular tour kicking off at Frankie's Pizza, in Sydney, on Wednesday 28 September, and taking in showings in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane and Byron Bay.

Death Monster Super Squad will be released on Friday 16 September. See the band's Facebook page for further details.
