It took four months, 1250 individual frames and five kilos of old clay to bring together this week’s itch-inducing Feature Video from Naarm-based artist Alien Nosejob.

Fast-paced and chaotically punk-aligned, ‘Live Like the Crowd’ comes straight from Alien Nosejob’s new album How a Mosquito Operates… and boy does it have a video to show it. Directed by claymation wizard Sean McAnulty, the clip is a technicolour whirlwind of life under the microscope complete with squashing, sucking, germs, slime and all manners of icky stickiness. “From my end, it was a phone call and a few emails back and forth, discussing the lyrics and the overall theme of the album and which parts would work for the video” says band brainchild Jake Robertson. “The rest was all Sean! If Michael Flatley is Lord of the dance, Sean McAnulty is Lord of the Clay - and brutha, I ain’t gonna tell Flatley how to step.”

Sean says “after a few phone calls with Jake where we talked about potential influences like Basil Wolferton's Garbage Pail Kid cards, Bruce Bickford, and an animation from 1912 called How a Mosquito Operates, I put the album on repeat to get a feel for it. 'Live Like the Crowd' was raw and had an honesty to it. It hit me hard and I played it to death.”

“I wanted to make it a bit Brickfordy (morphing and lots of movement) so I got a bit of inspiration from that. The process wasn't really thought out, I just went with the rawness of the song and a bit of a vibe. Jake did suggest the mozzie sucking so much blood it explodes at the end…”

Come along for the ride as Arnhem land's Terry Guyula from Drifting Clouds surfs the high skies in a Feature Video that welcomes the changing of the seasons and the circle of life.
 
‘Rarrandharr’ makes up one of the six distinctive seasons of the Yolngu people, with this track acknowledging the end of the hot and dry season (Rarrandharr) both literally and figuratively. The band was originally conceived in the homelands of Bunhungura in the Northern Territory, but this latest music video sees Terry hitting the city lights of Sydney, driving a Porsche convertible and surfing the clouds on a magical synthesiser (all in a day's work really). “I was really excited when making a Music Video in Sydney,” says Terry. “I think it's good that I make music video away from home because the song also means 'Djutjtjutjnha' known as Goodbye, it's like goodbye to everyone you love and goodbye to Dry season.”
 
Directed by Matt Sav, who was last year nominated for a J Award for Drifting Clouds’s debut clip 'Bawuypawuy', ‘Rarrandharr’ possesses the same Drifting Clouds textures known and loved by fans - only this time with some big city energy and a bunch of firsts. Terry says “I had a lot of fun working with Matt and in a big city it's something that I always wanted to do. Filming and seeing all the city lights everywhere it's beautiful and with crew who were involved in working with me and for the first time making a music video on green screen and driving around in city with Porsche.”
 
“It was really hard for me to perform in the city in the middle of people walking around me when I was performing for the Music Video because people don't know me but after that I feel better when I keep performing.”

For this week’s Wild One, Gadigal-based artist RAGEFLOWER invites us to her manic cabaret with a freakishly bloodthirsty finale. 

Directed by local filmmaker and Wild One regular Zoë Dubuc, ‘PUSH PIN’ goes all out in a surrealist setting, featuring wild costumes (think burlesque meets horror movie clown), props (hello chair made of long blonde wigs) and antics (read: murder on stage). It’s a slightly nauseating feast - and assault - on the senses as RAGEFLOWER’s Madeleine Powers (Mads for short) descends into violent insanity. This clowning around, in Zoë’s opinion is, “one of the funnest, wildest ones yet I think… I would say our inspirations heavily came from our beloved late David Lynch, and the incredible artist Nadia Lee Cohen.” 

“For ‘PUSH PIN’ we really tried to strip it back to the essential idea, and focus on interesting art direction, all props to the entire art team on this one, they really made our fun and wacky freak show come to life.”

With a name like RAGEFLOWER you know Mads had a good idea on what we look for in a Wild One. With a deep desire to explore the nastiness that comes with falling down a deep rabbit hole, Mads explains of the track; “When I wrote this song I wanted to channel the shadow-self and expose all the undesirable parts of my psyche” says Mads. “We were super inspired by 90s rock sonically and I think that inspiration bled into the visuals too. I am a huge David Lynch fan and wanted to do this twin peaks inspired horror, Zoë took it to the next level.” 

“Everything down to the chair made of hair is so fantastical, my favourite video yet.”

This week rage pays respects to the passing of Crow founding member, guitarist and vocalist Peter Archer.

Labelled in the 90s as one of 'the best bands in Australia since the Birthday Party' (Juice Magazine, 1998), Archer's sound across works like the 1993 Steve Albini produced and ARIA nominated album My Kind of Pain was raw and beautiful, and saw them booked alongside the likes of Nirvana, Nick Cave, and You Am I.

After a long hiatus, a recent reunion of the 1995 Li-Lo-ing era line up sparked a fresh spark of creativity amongst the band, and this year it was announced they would return with their first album in 15 years, Hold Sway. The album's second single and music video, Skyline, which was written and co-sung by Archer, is being released today. As a part of our tribute to him we will be featuring it on the show, plus all the best clips from Archer's time with the band.

You can catch rage’s tribute to Archer late this Friday night ahead of our New Releases show and alongside our tribute to Dennis Locorriere on ABC TV from 1am or stream live via iview.

As Mogwai bring their 30th anniversary tour down under this weekend, there's no better time to spin this blue-hued 2002 rage episode from the Scottish post-rock legends.
 
Filmed 24 years ago while the band toured Australia for Livid (RIP), this is the first of two times Mogwai has taken over guest programmer duties. At the time, they were already renowned for their expansive sound and epically long noise rock tracks, many of which they still play live today! It was a special trip for the Glaswegians too, who ended up releasing an exclusive 5-track Australian tour live EP thanks to one fateful Spunk Records boat party.
 
As the band gears up to play across the country again, beginning with this weekend's VIVID show at the Sydney Opera House, we're looking back at the music videos and artists that Barry Burns, John Cummings and Dominic Aitchison were admiring back then.
 
Catch Mogwai's first ever rage guest programmer episode this Friday night on ABC Entertains from 11:49pm, or stream live via iview!

This Friday night on rage we’re paying tribute to Dr. Hook singer Dennis Locorriere, who passed away this week aged 76.

After initially joining the band as a bass player when they were known as Dr. Hook & the Medicine Show, Dennis found success as a lead vocalist on countless soft-rock classics for the group, including cover songs like 'Walk Right In' and the Irish-Australian folk ballad ‘The Wild Colonial Boy’. Dennis earned more than 60 Gold and Platinum singles and hit #1 in more than 42 countries across his extensive career, and was much loved by Aussie audiences across the 70s and early 80s - even hosting Countdown with his eye-patch wearing co-vocalist Ray Swayer on two occasions.
 
On top of this, Dennis’s songwriting credits extend to some of modern music’s biggest stars including Bob Dylan, Olivia Newton-John, Helen Reddy and Willie Nelson. 
 
To celebrate Denis’s life this Friday we’ll be playing some of Dr. Hook’s most loved clips, plus ABC archival footage from their past adventures in Australia. The tribute kicks off late ahead of our New Releases show on ABC TV from 1am or stream live via iview.

We’re not crying! You’re crying! This weekend @waterfromyoureyes are making their rage debut!
 
They say it takes ten years to become an overnight success… if that’s true then Water from Your Eyes are right on schedule. Comprised of Nate Amos and Rachel Brown, the NYC-based experimental rockers have spent the last decade building one of indie music's most prolific creative partnerships. Boasting a back-catalogue of six albums, endless side projects and more ideas than most artists have in a lifetime, their seventh record ‘It's a Beautiful Place’ arrived last year as their most acclaimed yet.
 
And they haven't exactly been sitting still in between. Nate's solo project ‘This Is Lorelei’ has quietly taken on a life of its own in recent years, attracting fans from all over the world and garnering the attention of artists like Waxahatchee, Jeff Tweedy, MJ Lenderman and Cameron Winter, all of whom have lined up to cover his songs this year.
 
Meanwhile Rachel, an NYU film school grad, fronts their own solo project ‘thanks for coming’, directs all their own music videos, and has been spotted chatting to everyone from David Byrne to Kevin Parker, Hayley Williams, Thundercat, Flying Lotus and more as Stereogum’s most notoriously well-networked music correspondent. Uhh, how about you come work for us dude?
 
Despite all that, and fresh off their debut Australian shows, Nate and Rachel carved out some time to stop by the rage studio earlier this year, lining up a playlist as eclectic as they are, swinging from Vanessa Carlton to Slipknot, Eminem to Björk, New Radicals, Crazy Town and more.
 
Catch it from 10:30am and 11:00pm this Saturday on ABC TV or stream live via iview!

Don't miss a beat of today's guest programmer @mickeycavs! With the help of @spruce_gruce, this is one rage ep for the drummers.

Kicking off from 10:30am and 10:30pm on ABC TV or stream live on ABC iview!

Drop and give me a track for this week’s Feature Video ‘Another Breathtaking Melody’ from Berlin-based DJ gilm0re, a clip which sees aspiring DJs endure a Full Metal Jacket akin bootcamp turned up to 11.

Refusing song requests and maintaining a solid bpm are on the training agenda here, and the drill sergeant isn’t taking failure as an option. Music video director Ricky Dick says “when I first heard the track, the snare drums immediately made me think of the military. I had this image in my head of soldiers moving in formation perfectly in sync with the beat. But I didn’t want to make a film with actual soldiers, so I started asking myself what a military training camp for DJs would actually look and feel like. What would they train? What would they eat? We probably should have also included an exercise on how to become good at TikTok and make viral reels, since that seems to be part of being a DJ these days too haha.”

“I wanted to create this world where people train to become DJs by repeating these strange exercises over and over again, with the same discipline and intensity you’d find in the military. I also feel that nowadays DJs are often put on this kind of pedestal where everything becomes super serious and almost overly important. I wanted the military aspect to exaggerate that idea and show how absurd things can become when something that started as pure joy slowly turns into something way too serious.”

Taking a lot of visual inspiration from the army film Beau Travail, Ricky says “ [director] Claire Denis had this incredible way of capturing soldiers in such an aesthetic and unique way, where the exercises become choreography. I really loved that tension between discipline and beauty and wanted to bring some of that into our own strange little world. And of course there was also the legendary film Full Metal Jacket.”
“Despite creating this absurd and funny universe, I wanted to approach the film in the most serious way possible so that the world actually felt authentic. Since the concept itself is already ridiculous, everything else had to feel real. The details, the performances, and the world-building all had to fully com
