Last year, Tallen and I were introduced to the talented boys of Trap Tiger.
Together, we took an ultra-low budget (guitarist Kevin Suess paid 1$ for a garbage basket which he then transformed into a head made of leaves) and made a music video for their song “Go Home & Dream”.
The video won the People’s Choice Award for Best Music Video at last year’s Local Focus 4 Film Festival in Kitchener, Ontario.
Many thanks are owed to Matt Paterson, for being the Man behind the leaves (a role that often required running full-speed down neighbourhood streets without being able to see) as well as to the rest of Trap Tiger – Ryan Dugal, Andre Furlong, and Ceilidh Shipley.
But a special thanks is owed to Kevin Suess for approaching us with a unique and insightful idea, and then letting us share in its realization.
As the band get’s ready to record their latest album since “Twisted Shapes” talks are already underway as to what sort of collaboration we can bang out next!

Update: It’s also worth mentioning (and giving proper thanks to) Buckley from youtube account: dolt009 for making his Australian homage to Go Home & Dream!
