Portland, OR rockers RED FANG have released the video for “Blood Like Cream,” a song from their 2013 album, Whales and Leeches.
For the clip, RED FANG re-teamed with director Whitey McConnaughy (BAND OF HORSES, FLOGGING MOLLY) who created their popular videos for “Wires,” “Hank Is Dead” and “Prehistoric Dog.” Actor/comedian Fred Armisen (“Portlandia,” “Saturday Night Live”) also makes a cameo appearance in the clip.
“I love RED FANG and I had the best time doing the video,” says Armisen. “It was fun for me to do and Whitey was a total pleasure to work with, too.”
“In keeping with a long tradition dating back to 2007, we have made another epic, hilarious video with Whitey McConnaughy, the content of which is completely unrelated to the lyrical content of the song,” explains the band’s bassist/vocalist Aaron Beam.
“This song is about the stress of balancing a touring lifestyle with having a family back home, but who wants to see a video about that? BORING! Instead, we have a video featuring lots of blood, beer, and exercise–some of us did more running in this video that we’ve done the whole year to date. Also, Fred Armisen is in this one and he really steals the show. I thought I was a bad actor before, but after working with him, I see I cannot even qualify for such a high distinction as ‘bad.’ We hope everyone has as much fun watching it as we had making it!”
