Dilly Dally played quite a few sets at SXSW this year , their live show is just so good. They’re taking it all over North America this year, and we’ve got some new dates below along with the video for “Snake Head” from last year’s terrific album Sore. This is the song they’ve been opening with on tour, and it serves as a hell of an introduction, an infectiously ugly mess of howling and pounding and melodic lead guitar. Scott Cudmore’s clip finds the band having a humorous subtitled conversation in a shitty apartment. All the bands out there making garbage music videos should take note: This is a great example of how you can make an entertaining video on a low budget
The stop-start clip pairs up with the group’s recent set-opener, and find the four-piece in ultimate self-referential mode. “Music videos are bullshit,” they claim just seconds into the, er, music video, “What a waste of time, what a waste of money.” From there on out, they go all-in on their boredom, ironically producing one of the best videos of the year so far in the process.
‘Snakehead’ is taken from ‘Sore’, their phenomenal debut album. finding them on the verge of becoming one of the most vital groups around.
