Watch The New Clip From Aussie Ambassadors Dune Rats

Staff Writer

"Well, we're in Paris, we may as well make a video with a clown in it"

More Dune Rats Dune Rats Profile

Knockabout larrikins and pot enthusiasts Dune Rats have preceded the Sunday release of their debut full-length album with the launch of their brand spankin' new clip for the LP's first single, Funny Guy.

Shot on the streets of Paris, the fittingly noir et blanc video follows a somewhat underdressed and defeated-looking clown walking away from the Eiffel Tower while carrying lyrics cards that he drops as he walks along. Is that littering? People pick them up in the video, so he's probably OK. No one got arrested in the making as far as we understand it, anyway.

Dune Rats' self-titled debut full-length will be released this Sunday via Ratbag Records. It's available for preorder on iTunes, as is Funny Guy the single. The band will embark on a national tour throughout June in support of the album, having just completed a string of international tour dates over the past couple of months.
