New York, NY (Top40 Charts) White Denim have released their slinky, honky-tonk-inspired new video for "Ha Ha Ha Ha (Yeah)," a cut from the band's new album 'Stiff,' out now via Downtown. Shot in Bushwick, Brooklyn, but still in true
Texas fashion, the video features cowboy-booted bar dancing, a fitting visual for the rollicking, good-times track.
Director Jonatan Lopez of DREAMTIGER says of the video: "We wanted something effortless and non-interpretive. We had been watching deleted scenes of John Travolta from 'Urban Cowboy' - we muted the video, played the song, and thought, "yeah, this is it." We built a video around that moment. What if we had a cowboy journeying thru Bushwick? Whenever you're inspired by Travolta, you're bound to have an odd experience. You can't find honky tonk in New York City. So we brought it - with a little twist."
White Denim has also expanded their US tour to include new dates in Pittsburgh, PA, Baltimore, MD, Asbury Park, NJ and Albany, NY. Full list of dates below.
Raves for 'Stiff:'
"The last true heirs of the Allman Brothers...eat a peach and turn it up loud." -Rolling Stone
"Their southern-fried soul and musicians-first style reeks of the '70s." -Billboard
"...Simultaneously struts and sprints." -NPR Music
"May [Stiff] make them the stars they should already be." -4/5 MOJO
"On [Stiff], [White Denim] fly out of the gate, their virtuosity tempered by strong attitude." -The Guardian
"A slinky funk explosion." -Nerdist
"Unfettered with manic arrangements, yet still bursting with grad-school guitar riffs, the local R&B-spiked rockers have never transmitted with such clarity." -Austin Chronicle
"The songs on Stiff are inherently funky, with
Marvin Gaye rhythms that blend seamlessly into the
Texas rockers' patent guitar riffs...downright effortless." -Live Nation TV
