Los Angeles garage-punk group FIDLAR
have released what is possibly the most controversial and very NSFW
video of the year for their single “Cocaine” if you thought Robin Thicke's "Blurred Lines" was bad brace yourself. The video is a
collaboration with Will Ferrell's “Funny or Die” website which
features a variety of content from many famous faces (James Franco,
Ryan Gosling, Mila Kunis etc.). The video opens with “Parks and
Recreation” actor Nick Offerman, who plays Ronald Ulysses “Ron”
Swanson head of the Pawnee Parks department, in a wood workshop,
typical of Offerman's character. Offerman then receives word that he
is fired, goes out for beers and spends the rest of the video
exploring different locations of Hollywood whilst constantly
urinating powerfully over all that stands in his way managing at one
point to pot a golf ball with his bodily fluids.
The band, who are currently on tour in
Australia, are not ones to shy away from controversy with their name
being an acronym for F**k it dog, life's a risk and their name prior
to FIDLAR being F**k The Clock. Singers Zac Carper and Elvis Kuehn
also admitted in an interview with Pitchfork that the “We were
really hungover, and we just said, “Let's just try to jam”. It
seems that depicting and living debauchery filled lifestyles is the
key to success as they continue to gain a global following.
After touring Australia FIDLAR will
play Reading and Leeds festival before returning to tour America.
Their self-titled début was released in January via Wichita in the
UK and Mom+Pop Music in America.
