The Last Royals – “I Hate California” & “Crystal Vases”

/in , , /by

The Last Royals

what once held flowers now holds ash from my two packs a day

The Last Royals have been kicking around my iTunes and inbox for a few years now but it wasn’t until I caught them live that I was struck with the severe error of my TLR-ignoring ways. These guys do not fuck around. Sure, I take issue with “I Hate California” but the slow jam is a good way to ease into their vibe. It gets funkier on “Crystal Vases” and gets even more rowdy when they tear up a stage. Catch the “sexy” video for “Crystal Vases” below if you missed it earlier.

Music-Video-RoundupI hope you guys are keeping up with these. I know I’ve been dropping feature length video roundups on the regular lately but its not my damn fault. I dont make these things! I just eat my breakfast to them! And then spread them around, sharing the love and magic. Because goodness knows we dont need another indie band live performance video or pop song shot in “du club.” Creativity will always be Read more

Music-Video-RoundupI said I would and now I am! More music video madness for y’all to dive your eyes & ears into. As I think we all do, I watch a lot of boring, stale, and unimaginative music videos these days. Yet I am continually refreshed by the sheer number of quality videos that are also being produced. From simple low budget stomach turners like Humans’ latest to years-in0the-making animated mind benders like Black Light Dinner Party’s new one. Dems go rough with their special effects and Clubfeet go seamless and both kept me engaged for every second. And Local Natives went all beautifully oddball on us. The only unifying aspect of these videos is there are no performance shots. No band members playing any instruments. Who needs that!?
