can we talk about this video (Hot Fruit's "Falling off the Grid")

their youtube views and comments have gone thru the roof

"im gonna make the sky cum"

they just linked this thread on their fb HI LADIES!!!

what? yes! that's so great.

I like it. Reminds me of the Inflatable Boy Clams but also different.

I have watched this
So
Many
Times

AmazinG.

Hey, if you're still reading this thread, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE come to the UK. There are at least a few good promoters who are either already loving you or are into similar stuff. We can make this happen, plz plz plz.

Ha, that's indirectly my fault (my friend passed it on to him). Love the review, though, actually.

First watch of this I was all
"Urrrgh what is this shit!"
Ten watches later
Friend "What are you up to?"
Me "I wanna make the sky cum, I wanna make the sky cum."
Fantastic song. Love the rest of the tunes.

I knew as soon as I heard there was a reddit thread that I didn't want to read the reddit thread

Sometimes I think that reddit is just an idiot magnet.
I'm listening to this on repeat. It's a 9 minute song, but it doesn't feel anything like as long as 9 minutes. It's not like 'Bohemian Rhapsody', which feels like a real chore to listen to even once.

im scared it was a "friend" of mine who posted it on reddit after seeing it on my fb
the person who started the thread is from east tn :/

this is pretty badass

it is fantastic

this is great, thanking you roxy

you absolutely have to give them a show, you will regret it forever if not.

♪ i'm gonna make the sky cum ♫

Like a grown up Shaggs Flight of the Conchords collabo styled by Gary Wilson.

I'm a safety net if you're not scared
I'll take you there
Make up new metaphors

I'm not gonna make you food just cause I'm a girl
I mean, I like making food, so we can make food?
But like, you have to - you better help me!

*Waits for Mrisa M to come and denounce as music industry fraud*

this actually felt a lot shorter than 9 and a half minutes somehow

oops, it's over, time to listen to it again

it is insulting to compare them to the shaggs! the shaggs were great, but constructed and unaware! these are grown women yall

grown!

Specifically said "grown up Shaggs," roxy, sheesh. You can never please anybody in this url.

im just saying, james! no h8

no need to compare them to anything. just ride the wave.

just try it, try it, try it try it out

file me under "confused but generally supportive"

yeah, i'm feeling the "no attempt to make the music" aspect, but love it anyway

all his friends were condiments

and damn that "shit and blood" hook is an earworm. singing it to myself all day.

Serious staying power. It walks this thin line between "Serious Feminist Performance Art" and "just some people fucking around, fucking chill, don't take it too seriously already" that makes me love both sides even more. Which may be an obvious thing to say.

I like the way that on first viewing the video seems to be just random stuff, but with every repeat it seems more and more that every single thing in there has been put there deliberately.

Tour dates are up. They are coming to my town next month and playing at my friends place apparently.

i cant wait for them to arrive. i am going to cook them the best feast.

Still want them to come over here.

Still listening to this band a lot. Finally relented and bought the album from bandcamp. I have a lot of love for 'Motel 6', which has an awesome video also, and 'Slowly'. I enjoy the noisy chaotic elements but I think it's their pop suss I adore most about them. Especially when it shouldn't quite fit but does e.g. the 'Shit and blood' refrain. Oh and yeah they should definitely do some shows in the UK if possible.

has one of the hot fruits left the band??? :(

ok that 1st verse is amazing

also they are all in this video. u just gotta stay tuned til minute 6

these are amazing.

I believe in the HAM-burger
I believe in a coffee pot

i unfortunately have "mini mini mini mini mini mini mini mini fridge" stuck in my head

this thread should be renamed so people can find it. Just bought the album on Bandcamp - looking forward to checking it out in a moment.

yeah rename it plz @mods

just rewatched the other day!

was my first thought when the idea of a music video ballot poll was floated

I still think about this song fairly frequently.

I just searched for "Hot Fruit" on Apple Music to see if this song was on there, but all the results were about Gaz Coombes.
