Thin Lips filmed a video for “Never Again” at Kung Fu Necktie and it’s so much fun
Philly punks Thin Lips are getting ready to head out on a long spring and summer tour – which includes dates with The Front Bottoms, Modern Baseball, and The Max Levine Ensemble. Along the way, they’ll release their debut full length – Riff Hard – on May 20th via Lame-O Records.
Today, we got a taste of the forthcoming LP in a super fun music video for “Never Again,” filmed at Kung Fu Necktie by Adam Peditto and featuring members of Cayetana and Year of Glad in the crowd. Thin Lips itself also stars as, well, the band – as well as various members of the audience (Kyle Pulley as a erudite, Catcher In The Rye-reading fan at the bar is ace) and, cosmically, another band that crashes the party at the end.
At least I think that’s what’s going on. Singer-guitarist Chrissy Tashjian tells the folks at Noisey “I think of it as our homosexual Blink 182 video,” and it’s totally a lot of fun. Watch it below, and catch Thin Lips this Saturday, March 12th when they play Everybody Hits. Full tour dates below.
