SKIP&DIE have just released their brand new and surreal video ‘JUNGLE RIOT.’
Mixing the look of a David Lynch home movie cut with documentary footage from South Africa, where the album was recorded, this unique and original video perfectly showcases the bands visual and sonic artistry.
In lead singer and director Cata Pirats’s words, the video is: “Like LSD in the tropical jungle of the future.”

Their debut album of the same name was recorded while traveling around South Africa’s Soweto, Johannesburg, Cape Town and Guguletu, recording on the go meeting local musicians – setting up mics at the side of the road collecting sounds and ideas. They then went to Holland to finish it off in their studio on the 10th floor of an abandoned office block overlooking central Amsterdam.
Today the band set off on an epic European tour, stopping of at London’s Cargo nightclub for their debut UK show.
