The Dead Milkmen - "Pretty Music For Pretty People" video

’80s joke-punk legends the Dead Milkmen reunited in 2008 and dropped a new album called The King In Yellow in 2011, and now they’re coming back again with a new one called Pretty Music For Pretty People. The title track is a piece of demented satirical circus music about an awards-show acceptance speech. Brian Siano directed its video, and it’s more of a making-of document than anything else, depicting the band recording the song all together in what looks like a living room. But it’s worth watching, anyway, since it’s weirdly inspirational to see these aging goofballs still knocking this stuff out. Watch the video below.

Pretty Music For Pretty People is out 10/7.
