Captain Stu launches music video for new single

Captain Stu have launched the music video for their new single, Siamese Twin, which has children aged 10 to 12 who look like the band members in a scenario in which one of them is in love with a Siamese twin and the others perform an operation to separate the girls.

The video was shot over two weekends in August at the band house, the House of Pain, and was conceptualised and directed by Jade Mulvany and Frances Kroon.

"Because of the easy-going, fun persona of the band, we have visited and revisited the nostalgia theme in many of our visual elements in the video. Retro arcade games, robots, aliens, Star Wars, Scooby Doo, superheroes and many other elements from our childhood have made an appearance, so we thought it would be great to continue with that theme and actually recreate a bit of our childhoods in the video."

Captain Stu chose Siamese Twin as their next single as it is a fun song that has a quirky, different feel while still being quite catchy. The quirkiness of the song translated well into a video concept.

"Siamese Twin has a very different feel to it than The Day; it's a bit more out there and wacky and a tiny bit dark. So in a way it's showing a bit of a different side to Captain Stu, which we are very excited to be doing."

Captain Stu will be live at the Zula Bar in Cape Town on 11 November with Hog Hoggidy Hog, 340ml and Little Kings; Unit 11 in Durban on 19 November with The Trees; and Synergy Live Festival on 27 November.
