Watch and Listen: Stricken City - 'Pull The House Down'
JoeDiddly by Luke Slater September 25th, 2009

A double-bubble of Stricken City related audio and visual goodies for you today, with the video for 'Pull Down The House' - filmed on VHS and exclusive to DiS - and a Gold Panda remix of 'Lost Art', entirely for free.

But first, we'll inform you of their current touring schedule - something which should give those in the UK a pretty good chance to see them, if so desired.

October:

2 - London, Puregroove Records, In Store
8 - London, The Flowerpot
10 - Oxford, OX4 Festival w/ The Big Pink
11 - Nottingham, Bodega Social w/ Wave Machines
12 - Hull, The Lamp
13 - Liverpool, Korova
14 - Glasgow, Captain's Rest
16 - Edinburgh, Sneaky Pete's
17 - Manchester, Ruby Lounge @ In The City

And here's the video for 'Pull Down The House'. Yes, it's meant to sound like that. Reminds me of the days when I'd search for crappy Nirvana bootleg videos on Soulseek, waaaaay before YouTube. It's kinda good once you get over that fact. Also note the aspect ratio - none of this WIDESCREEN bollocks, y'see.

It's taken from the band's live film Videos About Songs About People I Know, which is available on the accompanying DVD of Stricken City's mini-album (do we still call these EPs?) Songs About People I Know. The video footage itself was shot on VHS at the House of Strange studio in June this year.

There's also that Gold Panda remix of 'Lost Art' I was talking about, which jingles, jangles, rumbles and sparkles. Get that from here, it's REET GOOD.
