Video The Mint Chicks Get Hot on Your Heels

Posted by Ezra Ace Caraeff on Fri, Jun 19, 2009 at 2:42 PM

Wow, this video rules. Babies, pink plastic nipples, DayGlo skeletons... and then it gets weird. The Mint Chicks have always done things their own way—moving from Auckland, New Zealand to SE Portland was a good start—and this wildly imaginative video (created by these folks) continues in that tradition.

And yes, "Hot On Your Heels" is their song from this year's PDX Pop Now! compilation. It's also on the excellent Screens album, which is out now (if you live in New Zealand or Australia). A domestic release date is coming soon. I hope.

I'm assuming the Mint Chicks are illegal aliens here. Nothing wrong with that at all. Wondering what they do about visas. Leave and come back? Just overstay? Where do they work?

Heard them live on KBOO a few weeks ago. Nice Clean cover.
