Hey, we need some energetic peeps to be in our new music video "Sick Of It". We're shooting it in central Auckland on Sunday the 9th of May.
You'd be needed for 2-3 hours and you must be willing to dance, skank and generally go crazy in front of the camera.

If you're interested email [email protected] and we'll give you some more details
