South Auckland’s two-piece high-energy riff rock band, The Boondocks, are excited to announce the release of their latest single and music video, Bear With Me.
The band, comprised of Scott Parker (vocals and bass) and Branden Pritchard (drums), promises an electrifying new chapter in their already impressive career.
Bear With Me is a tribute to The Boondocks’ roots and inspirations, which include legends such as Royal Blood and Nirvana. Originally written in 2017 by Parker’s former band, the track has been resurrected and reimagined with a dynamic and polished sound, thanks to the creative contributions of producer Scott Seabright. The single also received funding from NZ On Air.
The accompanying music video, a hilarious and heartfelt tale of an unexpected connection with Bigfoot, is directed by Dave Thompson and brought to life by the Imaginary Friends team. Filmed with prosthetics, expert makeup artistry, and an elaborate Bigfoot costume, the video highlights the band’s commitment to creativity and fun. "Our mindset was, if we’re doing a music video, it has to be ridiculous," says Parker. And ridiculous it is — in the best possible way.
