Today, Vancouver-based pop-rock band The Vidos release the music video for their song “Canadian Tuxedo” via Canadian rock label Rock Is Dead Records. The song is off the trio’s brand new album Right In The Kisser.
Directed by Rock Is Dead Records co-founder Dave Benedict and filmed in Mission, BC, the music video for “Canadian Tuxedo” is an ode to the much-loved fashion trend, as the band’s lead singer Brett Hornall wanders through a home filled with denim-covered mannequins. The video is a playful accompaniment to the earworm hooks and witty lyricism that make up The Vidos’ signature self-described “sludge pop” sound.
With an affinity for fuzzy pop hooks, creative drumming and stacked harmonies, The Vidos is the project of Vancouver pals Brett Hornall, Kirk Musfelt and Nolan Nielsen. The group began performing together early on, playing Rush covers at their high school dances. The band would go on to spend the next three years writing, recording and touring across Canada before hunkering down in a converted shuttle buzz in downtown Toronto for the winter of 2019, where their material for Right In The Kisser! would come to life.
Known for their charming lyrics and onstage banter, The Vidos have gradually cultivated their live show into an immersive, genre-bending, fourth wall-shattering performance and have become one of Canada’s most promising and unpredictable groups in the process.
