FIDLAR shared a new music video for “Punks”. Created in collaboration with fellow DIY-minded band The Flaming Lips, the dystopian clip follows a working class protagonist’s ill-fated journey to outer space to join an elite group of super chromosome money making power plants.
FIDLAR was approached by members of The Flaming Lips after spontaneously covering “Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots Part 1” at a show in Oklahoma City, OK. While hanging out at the band’s psychedelic art space “The Womb” after the show, a mutual admiration for each other’s DIY music videos lead to the decision to join forces on the clip. The music video for “Punks” was directed and produced by longtime FIDLAR collaborator Ryan Baxley, Fidlar bassist Brandon Schwartzel, and Flaming Lips collaborators Zachary Ryan Cox, George Salisbury, Tom Hudson, and Travis Pierce.
FIDLAR’s Fall tour is preceded by a handful of performances at various summer festivals in the US including Bonnaroo, Mo Pop Festival, and Lollapalooza. The band will also perform at numerous UK/European festivals including T in the Park, Way Out West, and Oya Festival. The band will also perform headline shows in London, Paris, Amsterdam, and Cologne.
