The Coronas get paint bombed in ‘Get Loose’ video
The Coronas get paint bombed in the one-take video
The Coronas have unveiled the paint splattered video for ‘Get Loose’, which was shot in just one take and required front man Danny to learn the lyrics to the song backwards. The song is taken from the band’s current album ‘The Long Way’ and the video is part of the Around The World In 80 Music Videos series. Watch the video below.
The Coronas will tour the UK tour this November, which includes their biggest UK show to date at Shepherd’s Bush Empire on the 13th.
The Coronas hurtled into 2015 with a sold out show at the 14,000 capacity Dublin 3 Arena. It was a homecoming show of sorts since the band moved to London little over a year ago. With 3 double platinum albums on their own indie label in Ireland under their belts, the band was quickly snapped up by Island Records and signed a publishing deal with Big Life.

Last October The Coronas – whose support tours include Sir Paul McCartney, The Script, Justin Timberlake and Pink – played 3 sold-out headline shows in the UK in London, Glasgow and Manchester and then March saw them embark on a full UK headline tour the culminated in a sold-out show at London’s Koko. This summer they played Dot to Dot and T in the Park and V Festival.
The Coronas journey began when childhood best friends Danny (the son of Irish folk legend Mary Black) and bassist Graham Knox formed a band at school with Conor. They played their first gig aged 15. By the time they reached uni, they had recruited Dave and had called themselves The Coronas. The last eight years has seen them establish themselves as one of Ireland’s best-loved bands and sell out Ireland’s biggest venues.
“The last eight years have been a blast,” says Knoxy. “We look back and can’t believe what we’ve achieved. The highlights? Too many to mention. But for me, meeting McCartney when we supported him. He asked who was the bassist. I said me. He said, ‘Okay, here’s my advice. Don’t break up.”
“And we haven’t,” laughs Danny. “We can’t. Paul McCartney said so.”
