!!! Video - "Must Be The Moon"

Now that we've finally recovered from the desert blast of our trek to Indio and restored health after the week-long Coldchella that's had us couch-ridden ever since, four sets stand up in memory as festival defining: Björk, Cornelius, Spank Rock, but most of all, eight-headed dance-punk juggernaut !!!. Live is where the Cali-BK crew live, and while the "Heart Of Hearts" clip offered Offer in his natural habitat for stock effect, "Must Be The Moon" dramatizes his libidinous freak show via face paint, blood, and generally portraying him as a libidinous freak show. It works, more or less, though losing your shit to it live is a little less kinky and a little more fun.

Though they have some North American dates lined up, your best bet to see 'em is to randomly festival hop through Europe. You're bound to see 'em at least six times. !!! show sched after the jump.

I too can't wait to see them, in a couple weeks. Though they're obviously about music more than image, I'm glad for this video, because Heart of Hearts was just lazy.
