The Exponents “One In A Lifetime”
Jordan Luck takes to the mean streets of downtown Auckland for a solo promo. Starting from a stark inner-city apartment, he heads down to the vacinity of Albert Street, including a brief visit to the remains of dirty old Finance Plaza. The Andrew Moore-directed video takes Jordan down to Queen Street, outside the picturesque facade...
Missing videos from June 1996
I’m still mourning the recent loss of Annie Crummer‘s videos. “U Soul Me” was another single from her second solo album. Bike‘s first single, “Save My Life”, is afforded digital immortality due to its inclusion on the Flying Nun “Very Short Films” compilation, but second single “Old and Blue” isn’t so lucky. The Film Archive...
The Exponents “La La Lulu”
The influence of Quentin Tarantino slowly works its way into the mid-’90s. The last time we saw Jordan and the lads they were relaxing on a beach. This time around, they’re all Reservoir Dogged up in fancy suits. The action initially takes place in a small steel room. The walls made of non-slip steel plates...
The Exponents “Summer You Never Meant”
Jordan and the boys head down to the beach for some proto-Jack Johnson surf pop. Jordan, whose hair in this video resembles mine when I don’t straighten it, sings the song sitting on a shady beachfront porch, occasionally joined by the other Exponents. They seem to just drift in when they feel like it. But...
The Exponents “Like She Said”
The pre-renovation Parnell Baths, empty for winter, are the location for the Exponents. Jordan and the lads play the lament of lost love amid the stagnant fountain and the waterless waterslide. But they are not alone! Because this is a music video, they are being watched by a mysterious woman with a dalmatian dog. She...
The Exponents “House of Love”
“House of Love” is one of those Exponents songs that doesn’t get sun at rugby games. Tracking the demise of a relationshop, where Jordan both walks in and walks out of the house of love, the video shows the Exponents playing the song in a doll’s house. Actually, that makes it sound much cooler than...
The Exponents “Sink Like a Stone”
After trying to make it big overseas, the Dance Exponents had returned to New Zealand, rebranded as just The Exponents and released their new single “Why Does Love Do This To Me”, which promptly tore up the charts to number three and provided a rugby singalong anthem for many years to come. Their follow-single, “Sink...
