Van She - “Cat & The Eye” (You Tube)
WHO SAW THIS COMING?? We’ve been waiting on the edge of our seats for new Van She — and here it is. I’m trying to tame the inner fanboy, but this is near perfect. “Cat & The Eye” is still catchy as “Kelly” but edgier as some of their crazier stuff. And the visuals are fantastic… kinda minimalist-nu-rave, something nobody is doing… yet. Totally refreshing. Directed by Krozm, both song and video are a home run.







Take The Beatles, Paul Mac/Silverchair and a drop of My Bloody Valentine, add some filtered loops, a sprinkle of 70’s synth sparkle and some “trippy” lyrics. It’s O-K… I guess was expecting better from these guys, hopefully the rest of the album picks up the slack…

that video says to me “low budget”…

Rodger T and Hezekiah can suck a dick. This is obviously there pop track like kelly was. Such a fucking moron. Film clip is ment to be that way cunt. Go neck your self fags, australia represents.
November 14th, 2007 at 12.10 pm
Your low budget Hezekiah, stupid cunt.
November 14th, 2007 at 12.11 pm
Van She are so fucking good. Australia has the best indie artists. Oi that Ham guy is right you are both stupid cunts, are you guys like down syndrome. Your mothers must have been alcohlics.
November 14th, 2007 at 12.13 pm
woah, fight.
but for reals — i think van she’s biggest challenge with this album is the people who came on board late and are used to van she tech bangers. obviously, this isn’t that and will never be.
“cat & the eye” could’ve easily fit on their ep, and continues the pop sound that they established. i’m really not sure what anyone else would expect…

If Van She saw Rodger T and Hezekiah they would tell them they are gay cunts and that they should beat each other off because they are homos. p.s
I fucking hate those two and Van She are sweet cunts, I wish french artists were as good as asutralian artists.
November 14th, 2007 at 12.19 pm
whoa indeed… calling everyone who has a little bit of critcism a cunt…what are you? Tokio Hotel fans??
like the song though!
November 14th, 2007 at 12.21 pm
Travis your dick, why would Van She make there tracks sound like their DJ set they are too totally different things your moron. Such a fucking dumb cunt.
November 14th, 2007 at 12.22 pm
Fuck off you don’t even know Van She your just some homo kid on their computer, that heard a couple of their tracks. What a fucking douche. Tokio hotel cunt suck my dick you dumb cunt.
November 14th, 2007 at 12.24 pm
Suck my dick all you non Van she fagots. Australia for life

Ham/Craig Anderson/Roule/Kelly/Whatever name you choose next (all the same same person btw) —
re-read what i wrote. i didn’t say that van she tech and van she are the same thing. i said quite the opposite. i was just saying there were are people who will dismiss this because it’s not a banger, but that’s not what van she does…
anyway.
November 14th, 2007 at 12.26 pm
Oi Travis, your just some dumb cunt. You banger. You don’t even know anything, what do you even know about Van She? Your just some stupid tweaker, go back to your New Kids On the Block and stay there.

One location shoot and some stupid costumes = low budget. Also Krozm copied this youtube video:

if you can’t see that you are blind… VST rocks.. VS on the other hand can go jump.
November 14th, 2007 at 6.53 pm
Umm…. not very original work from the Krozm guys. the film clip looks like a mixture of the DARDANELLES Footsteps film clip and the Damn Arms clip Krozm did for both bands. The wigs, rocks, trees, dance movements, fur face masks, box heads… humm. Quite lame i think.
check this and see for yourself, its basically the Dardanelles clip only with added fluro!

god I hope I’m never in a video clip as gay as that…
November 14th, 2007 at 9.17 pm
nice one fellas. don’t listen to the haters.
November 14th, 2007 at 9.58 pm
yes i agree, dont listen to these jealous losers. Nice work krozm.
November 14th, 2007 at 10.50 pm

November 14th, 2007 at 11.42 pm
epic epic track van she
unless you have seen them live recently and heard their other new stuff STFU.
November 14th, 2007 at 11.46 pm
All australians all like russell crowe. these comments show it. on my opinion this track was a bit dull really.
November 15th, 2007 at 8.16 am
don’t get me wrong, its not about ‘hating’ the clip. on its own, i think its pretty cool. i just think it’s all too similar to the other film clips they have done. contructive criticism. thats all :)
November 15th, 2007 at 8.34 am
love it .. cant wait for their’s and cut copy’s album
November 15th, 2007 at 8.47 am
first, bitches!!! lolz @!!DEWDP!291
oh wait, this isn’t Perez?
All that “gay” talk got me confuzd…
November 15th, 2007 at 12.00 pm
VST suck. Anyone can put a house beat under a sample. They just sound like a lame copy cat of Daft Punk.
This is cool.
November 15th, 2007 at 2.14 pm
yeah I heard Van She tech changed their name to Arithmitix and no-one gave a shit, so they had to change the name back.
ha ha
November 15th, 2007 at 2.17 pm
thanks travis, this shit kills.
November 16th, 2007 at 7.46 am
Hezekiah - complaining about a low-budget feel? Who won the European VMAs? Some French duo, and I think there was some big time rapper who bitched on stage about how much more his losing video cost…hmm, what was that again? You stink on ice.
Oh yeah, and the song is absolutely bonkers.

This rocks!
November 16th, 2007 at 10.33 pm
Jeezuz. What’s with all the homophobic refs?!
Van She rocks. “Gay” music rocks too (not that Van She is “gay” in the context being used here).
Get over it & watch your forked little tongues.

Krozm just translated the atmosphere of the song to a visual dimension.
The result is gold, as everything Krozm’s puts his hands on.

[...] Please and Sneaky Sound System, they’ve got a new single out which has hit the blogs (Bigstereo and So Indie it Hurts). Love the criticism that is popping up — remember kids, this is not [...]
