At the time of typing this, Humblet’s single ‘Go To Rics’ is currently at number 8 on the overall charts of Triple J Unearthed. An amazing feat considering it was released just over a week ago.
Today the band has dropped the track’s accompanying music video, and I’ll be straight up, I feel quite a bit of pride right now.
Nick Humblet originally approached me to help out with the music video and asked me to be in it due to my involvement with Rics Bar as its entertainment booker for the last several years. Dare I say it, but I have become a part of the furniture there these days.
The band called on the talents of local filmmaker, artist and photographer Will Johnstone. With his history of working with acts such as The Bennies, Bugs and many more rising stars in the Australian live music scene, he seemed to be the most suited choice.
The plan was to create a music video that would be the perfect accompaniment to the track that like the song would capture the essence of what Ric’s Bar has become for so many. Oh and also have a shit load of fun doing it!
We decided to kill two birds with one stone by filming the clip the same day as part of the ‘Go To Rics’ single launch during The Backyard Series Vol 2. The callout was made, and this is the finished product.
It goes without saying a special thanks to everyone involved, call it what you like, but I reckon we created a little bit of Brisbane history that day.
You all rock my socks and Humblet keep smashin’ out the bangers!
