Amyl and The Sniffers are on a high after announcing an Australian tour and releasing their new album, Cartoon Darkness.
In the middle of their world tour Amyl and The Sniffers will play Adelaide, Perth, Melbourne, Sydney, Wollongong, Sunshine Coast, Brisbane, supported by Bob Vylan (UK) and Miss Kaninna plus Party In The Paddock Festival in Tasmania.
This summer will get even hotter with Amy and the boys whipping up a frenzy with their legendary punked up live music show.
Their third album to date Cartoon Darkness brings all the humour, social commentary and gutsy Australian punk rock plus the release of their latest video “Jerkin” censored, or uncensored release for over 18’s on the bands website.
Director of Jerkin video John Angus Stewart commented “The level of offence that a vagina or penis can generate is absolutely bizarre. Once, Amy said to me, “If the world wasn’t so fucked up, I’d never wear clothes.” It’s the context we stamp onto our sex organs that makes them innately “offensive.” This is why we wanted to strip away the artifice and examine the body in an open, conversational way. We approached the project as if it were a performance in itself. From concept to crewing to casting, we (the production) let the project evolve in the most natural way possible, allowing our subjects to dictate their level of input based on their comfort on the day. We were learning what it was as we were making it, which is basically the opposite approach I’m used to. But because this idea was driven by people’s personalities, it felt wrong to do it any other way. We just kept pulling things further and further back until we were left with just a white wall and the human body. I want to come out of everything I do with a different perspective. Just as one’s perspective changes with an Amyl song, I want to change in the same way. I think we all walked away from the shoot with an innate need to be less prudish and give less of a shit.”
