STREET BONERS and TV CARNAGE » “MOLALATADI” MUSIC VIDEO BY BLK JKS

We finally made a video that doesn’t feature The Bronx. BLK JKS get called stuff like “the South African Strokes,” but they’re more like Bad Brains performing Paul Simon’s “Graceland.” The band used a photo from our SANZA-HANZA photo-zine for the cover of their Mystery EP last year, so when they were putting together ideas for their music videos they asked to incorporate footage from the SANZA-HANZA film. Along with the South African train-surfing footage, the clip was filmed in New York (Santos Party House and Coney Island), where the band now lives.

It’s just kind of difficult to consider a 20 something riding around on a bicycle to be a hard ass. As if they have to make a quick getaway from the evil truant officer or Coach Wilson.

Yeah, and train jumping, who hasn’t done that…playing with frickin’ choo-choo trains much. Music is catchy though, although it is a bit black. Like isn’t SA done with this whole apartheid thingy…

STREET CARNAGE is mostly a website that features street fashion critiques called STREET BONERS and compilations of bad television called TV CARNAGE. The site also has a blog, a radio show, and regularly features video shorts made by Gavin and Derrick.

STREET CARNAGE is also a live presentation you can have in your town where Gavin shows a Street Boners "Best Of" and Derrick shows his latest TV Carnage endeavors.

STREET BONERS will eventually be compiled into a huge book which will feature hundreds of pages of Boners as well as contributions from Chloe Sevigny, Debbie Harry, Fred Armisen, Tim & Eric and many more.

Derrick makes videos for various bands as well as his own movies. His most recent project is called "Cop Movie" and is comprised of about three dozen different cop movies and he also has a workout video coming out that is made up of a million disgusting workout tapes. Gavin does freelance writing for TV, film and magazines and they both do funny acting stuff as well as other hilarious video shit we'll tell you about later. They are both dicks.
