Music video

The music video for "Get Smashed Gate Crash" is based on a similar concept to Blink 182's "The Rock Show", where the band are given $500,000 in cash and go out and blow it all.[1] Their video documents the band using two handheld DV camcorders, the band going to 4 pubs and a house party with 30 of their close friends, with money for drinks from the production company.[2]

gollark: Shuffle them around a bit, sort of thing.
gollark: Yes, just edit the stars.
