So apparently a streaker disrupted the State Of Origin last night? Was it the guy from the new Violent Soho clip????
So apparently a streaker disrupted the State Of Origin last night? I mean, that's all anyone can talk about on the morning programs I watch as I write this. Was it the guy from the new VIOLENT SOHO clip? No? Are you sure? I mean, they're both naked guys from Australia and the clip was released yesterday - just in time for a streak at the game... Publicity stunt? Highly likely!!
Okay, now that that terrible segway is out of the way... We can move onto the crux of the article, the Brisbane based 4-piece have released the accompanying video for their lastest single - 'In The Aisle'. It does in-fact feature a nudist bike-riding around the streets of the band's home city, but this isn't actually just a cool fictional idea for a clip.

After Violent Soho teamed up with director Tristan Houghton, they decided that they would work on a short documentary. The protagonist of the story - a man named Dario. Dario is a nudist cyclist who every year attempts to hold an annual nudist bike ride through the city of Brisbane - and the documentary follows him through his day as spreads his message to locals. All whilst being in the nude. Of course.
'In The Aisle' is the first single from Violent Soho's forthcoming LP, Hungry Ghost, and was written about the people who live in our community and choose to act outside the norm and society's reaction to their behaviour...thus it only makes sense to connect Dario's story with the song.
It's a really uplifting clip and regardless of your feeling on the song (we hope you love it), there's no way you can't smile whilst watching this one.
