Midnight Juggernauts Release Catty Clip

I can’t say I’ve ever really gotten Midnight Juggernauts. Maybe I never will. But I’ve come close watching the video for their new single “Systematic.” I actually don’t mind the song, and the clip is a stroke of genius. It really does prove that everything online is better with cats!

“They had an idea to throw dozens of cats around and we were curious to see how they could do that without offending animal cruelty groups,” explained Vincent Vendetta. “My initial reaction to the video was to laugh throughout—and obviously no animals were harmed.”

“Systematic” comes from the EP of the same name, which is in stores now. Midnight Juggernauts will promote it as the headliners at Siberia Presents: A New Year’s Eve Party at Melbourne’s Prince of Wales on December 31.

Midnight Juggernauts Come Home for Album Launch Shows

Midnight Juggernauts are hitting the road to celebrate the recent release of their brand new album Uncanny Valley.

Uncanny Valley features the band’s hot new single “Memorium”. I must admit, I’m much more into the video than I am the song. It’s not that the track’s bad, but this kind of ambient electro-pop’s never really been my thing. But I love the clip, which documents the evolution of CGI. Director Vincenzi Vandella’s created something really impressive here.

Midnight Juggernauts are currently warming up for local fans with a string of European dates, so they should be in fine form by the time they reach our shores. Here are all the places you can see this fine Aussie act performing.

Global Tour for Midnight Juggernauts

Aussie electronic act the Midnight Juggernauts are poised for global domination.

Their hypnotic dance tracks have created a buzz in Australia, and press in Europe and Asia are taking notice, according to Undercover.

The Melbourne outfit have been capitalising on the hype with shows in London, Paris, Manchester, Barcelona, Beijing and Shanghai. The tour highlight will undoubtedly be an appearance at France’s Les Eurockeennes festival this weekend. The Midnight Juggernauts will take the stage alongside AIR, Arcade Fire and The Klaxons.

The band will release a new 12-inch, Road to Recovery, to coincide with the tour. They’ll be back on homegrown soil in August to celebrate the launch of their debut album, Dystopia.
