Is there a band more suited for a video premiere on Adult Swim than Les Savy Fav? Those post-punk goofballs should already just be a house band on Moral Orel or some other show. So here's their fun video for "Sleepless in Silverlake," which features a glamorous L.A. girl gallivanting in a club, and spurning the advances of a nerd. Dips in the pool, trips to the skate park, martinis, and scenic views follow.
Les Savy Fav's Root for Ruin is out now.
love this vid
The 'glamorous L.A. girl' is a Marilyn Monroe impersonator, and the 'nerd' is a Jerry Lewis impersonator. There's an Oliver Hardy in there too, among others. Just making sure these references don't escape the kids.
