Music News - Kiwi four-piece Balu Brigada drop video for new single, ‘Could You Not’
27 June 2017 - 0 Comments
Balu Brigada have today released the
video for their latest single
Could
You Not.
The
four-piece has been whipping up a storm since bursting onto the Kiwi music
scene in 2016 with their first two singles, the catchy-as-hell
Weekend and the
high-energy
Ricochet.
Made up of three brothers (Henry,
Pierre and Charles Beasley) and a bestie (Guy Harrison), they’ve
won over audiences with their unique blend of alt-rock, hip-hop and compelling
pop hooks.
Balu Brigada’s
new single
Could You
Not, which has been part of their live set for some time now,
tells the tale of two close friends who were “kind of seeing each other for a
while”, says lead singer Henry.
“It was on the down-low for a few weeks and then it started to get a bit messy
when she wasn’t totally honest with him. She ended up not-so-subtly telling me
that she was more keen on seeing him as a friend, and he was in the room next
door at the time, so I was very literally like: ‘Yo, Could You Not Speak So
Loud’.”
Directed by Garth Badger
from Thievery Studio,
the video for
Could You
Not features some iconic inner Auckland cityscapes and K Road’s
lauded 155 Chinese Restaurant. And in keeping with the sentiment of the song,
it also provides a glimpse of ‘flat life’, with many scenes being shot in
various flats across Auckland, including a house party in Henry’s garage.
