Sahara Beck Unveils Tarantino-Inspired Clip Ahead Of Tour With Ball Park Music

Celebrated Queensland singer-songwriter Sahara Beck is moving from strength to strength at the moment, following up her recent deal with Häagen-Dazs ice-cream by unveiling a super-stylish new clip, inspired by lauded auteur Quentin Tarantino, alongside a run of national tour dates supporting Brisbane indie heroes Ball Park Music.

The impending shows will also provide the honey-voiced musician ample opportunity to proudly tout her newest single and the track for which the aforementioned video was made, Tapping On The Roof.

Directed by Miccajet Studios' Matt Jeston, the clip takes broad influence from Tarantino's seminal first feature, Reservoir Dogs — notably, the infamous scene in which Michael Madsen's character, Vic Vega, aka Mr Blonde, tortures a kidnapped policeman, played by Kirk Baltz.

Here, though, Beck turns her attention to a pair of hapless captives, played by Natalie Thomas and Sophie Thomas, as she sidles her way around the confines of Brisbane's iconic Lefty's Good Time Music Hall and generally strikes an intimidatingly gleeful figure as she has her vicious way with her hostages.

Suffice to say, the creative team for the clip have nailed it; it's a stylishly executed, imaginative and visually spot-on piece of musically driven short cinema, abundant in wonderful shlock effects and stylistic camera flickers that — along with the track's sultry undertones and percussive drive — help sell the end result as 100% conceivably yanked from ol' Quentin's cutting-room floor. Check it out for yourself below.

In tandem with the video's unveiling, the supremely talented Sahara Beck will join Ball Park Music and fellow local supports The Creases for an all-Qld affair from this Thursday, when the tour kicks off at the Miami Marketta, Gold Coast, and continues on through late October, taking in performances all around the country, including metropolitan stops such as Brisbane, Canberra, Sydney and Melbourne, as well as regional interests in Geelong, Perth, Darwin, Townsville and many more locations.

In addition to her tour performances with Ball Park, Beck also has a couple of festival slots in the very near future, including Yamba's Surfing The Coldstream Festival on Saturday 15 October, with Sex On Toast, Declan Kelly & The Rising Sun, Teddy Lewis King and more; beloved boutique shindig Jungle Love Festival, on Friday 25 November, with Tijuana Cartel, The Jensens, Clea, Mid Ayr, Pop Cult and more; and Port Macquarie's Festival Of The Sun, on Thursday 8 December, alongside Gang Of Youths, Montaigne, Seth Sentry, Tash Sultana, The Smith Street Band, L-FRESH The LION and more.
