PREMIERE: The Jed Rowe Band's Bleak Tale Of Castlemaine

Shit gets real.

Melbourne's The Jed Rowe Band went out to Victoria's Yarra Ranges to make the perfect video for their grim tune Castlemaine and we are pleased to be able to show it to your this afternoon, in all of its bleak and grim glory.

The clip was directed by Lachlan Bryan & Kelly-Anne Gentle and sees the band and the cast somewhat adopt the personas of the 1850s characters that feature in the song. The narrative remains pretty true to that of the song as well, but we'll let you watch and find out what that is for yourself. It's not exactly for the faint of heart, though.

Watch the clip here:

The band is out on the road in support of the clip as of the beginning of next month. All the dates are below.
