Head Like A Hole “A Crying Shame”
Instantly identifiable by its trumpet intro, “A Crying Shame” kicks off and enters the world of a circus freak show. Taking inspiration from the strong man on the cover of their album “Double Your Strength, Improve Your Health, & Lengthen Your Life”, the video alternates between colour footage of the band playing the song and...
Head Like a Hole “Chalkface”
“Chalkface” is a bad-attitude punk metal song and the video is based around a live performance. It looks like it was shot on someone’s home video camera. The footage is really grainy, though weirdly enough what would have looked low budget back in ’94 now has a cool retro tone to it. The dodgy footage...
Head Like a Hole “Faster Hooves”
The best description of this video comes from the YouTube uploader HEADLIKEAHOLENOISE, who accurately says it’s a “spaghetti southern on donkeys”. Being shaken by his ass, Sheriff Booga is after the black-clad villain played by drummer Hidee Beast, looking positively eeeevil. This drama is cut with rapid footage of HLAH playing campfire instruments – an...
Head Like A Hole “Hootenanny”
HLAH knew how to make people dance. “Hootenanny” is a hootenanny, a boistrous rockstravaganza that got crowds moving. The video works with this energy, using footage of the band playing in various live situations. There’s a reminder of Bands in the Square, the annual Wellington alternative rock festival, sponsored by the much loved radio station...
Head Like a Hole “Cornbag”
For their third album, “Double Your Strength, Improve Your Health and Lengthen Your Life”, HLAH had evolved to a country inspired sound. The “Cornbag” video goes with that, placing the band in a mysterious old country shack. Inside the shack, we discover the band are dressed as astronauts, like some hillbillies who figured out the...
Head Like a Hole “Spanish Goat Dancer”
More high-jinks from the HLAH lads. This time they are under the influence of a goat (presumedly a Spanish goat, that is also a dancer) which is making strange things happen. First a pack of dogs roam the streets, leading an unsuspecting cyclist to the goat. The action then turns to a suburban house where...
Head Like a Hole “Fish Across Face”
“Fish Across Face” suddenly appeared out of the blue, settled in at number nine in the charts and left everyone wondering who exactly this Head Like a Hole musical group was. From their early metal years, the “Fish Across Face” video features the band naked (but for body paint) in most scenes. But Wikipedia says...
