Overview

Sydney's simmering powerhouses, The Preatures, just kicked another big ass goal, releasing their brand new video for newest single 'Somebody's Talkin'' this morning. Taken from the fivesome's debut album Planet Blue Eyes out today, the Footloose-meets-Modern Love single now has a video — starring your mate, Bondi Bowlo.

Directed by Holy Holy, Children Collide and Stonefield music vid magician Gemma Lee, every shot of the Preatchy new vid requires two enthusiastic thumbs up. Epic cinematic shots of Palm Beach, shot by Sydney director of photography Tim Tregoning, will make you want to ditch the office and throw your jaded self into the waves quicksmart.

Crisp-as-blazes shots of kickass Aussie pro surfers Jane Ensor, Rosie Mansfield and Jess Van Der Meer ditching their snuggly jumpers and carving the bajesus out of Palm Beach pair perfectly with Gideon Bensen and Jack Moffitt's dreamy beachtastic riffs, Tom Champion's super beacho bass line, Luke Davison's crisp drum whacks and Isabella Manfredi's killer pipes.

Then, Bondi Beach Bowls Club, you ol' retro so-and-so. Mad legends at dart boards, old crusty lace curtains, wood panelling; Bondi's rickety ol' bowlo is perfect stage for the nostalgia-drenched single — even the ballroom looks a million dollars with party balloons and Manfredi's can't-even-be-handled brand of cool denim Chrissy Amphlettness. To top things off, bassist Champion wears a damn sailor hat for goodness sake. GET NAUTICAL, PEOPLE.

Enough (somebody's) talkin', watch the vid here and get all up in Sydney goodness.
