Avalanche Party release music video for ‘Million Dollar Man’

AVALANCHE PARTY have released a brand new music video!

The video is for the Yorkshire band’s latest single Million Dollar Man.

Speaking about the new track and video, bassist Joe Bell says, “this song comes from one side of our influences, and there are many more to come. We recorded with Thee Jonny Hooker at Young Thugs Studios in York. Good studio. It’s above a Social Club, so now Glen is an amazing Snooker player and even better dartboard. There was a 60th birthday party going on downstairs during one of the sessions so if you listen closely enough to the 2nd chorus you can hear Cotton Eyed Joe. It was great working with Jonny, we knew him from FOSSIL COLLECTIVE firstly and then he and Jared (guitars) worked with each other doing LUUNA. His experience and expertise was invaluable to the process (he’s old as fuk).

The video was shot mainly in Staithes, which is where Kane lives and grew up, and where we rehearse and put gigs on at The Captain Cook Inn. Nice seaside village with lovely alleyways – which we enjoyably ran round until 4am. The locals seemed to enjoy the thrill of the filming, judging from the twitching curtains and glut of late night dog walkers. One unfortunate, wheezing Labrador was walked 8 times in the space of an hour, when the shoot was at a particular peak of high action. One more drone would have been the end for Fido”

The band are currently on a rotating headline tour with CANSHAKER PI, where each date sees the two band’s battle for the headline slot via a series of challenges.

Speaking about the tour, Joe Bell adds, “we’ve had this tour on the back burner for a while so really looking forward to playing these gigs. We’ve had a wee break from a very busy summer of festivals and feeling pretty limber for this tour now. Old haunts and new territories. 1000mph. Great to have our Dutch comrades CANSHAKER PI along for this dual headline tour lark. How to decide who will headline on what night I hear you all (nobody) cry? We’ll pitting our metal against CANSHAKER in a series of challenges. What kind? All to be revealed on the tour via our social medias but rest assured there’ll be feats of endurance, feats of skills, feats of bravery, feats of patience, feats of the feet and hands. I’ve heard traditional Dutch board games may feature. Do we make Tiddlywinks great again? Which feline reflex character do we stick in the goal posts and which set piece master do we send forth to glory? Time will tell. And we near the time”
