Australia’s best/only independent punk-soul trio PHILADELPHIA GRAND JURY are set to leg it down the East Coast for their first ever headline tour, in support of their first release, the ‘Going To The Casino’ EP, which debuted at no. 5 on the iTunes Alternative chart. With current single ‘I’m Going To Kill You’ all over the radio, and a brand new clip for the indie hit ‘Going To The Casino (Tomorrow Night)’ getting regular spins on the tellie, Berkfinger, MC Bad Genius and Dan W Sweat are steadily gaining a rep for inducing old-fashioned hip-swinging hysteria at their live shows.

The ‘Going To The Casino’ EP is available in limited edition 7 inch red vinyl, and CD at the shows and good record stores, and is digitally-released through all good DSPs.

How to make a film clip Philadelphia Grand Jury style, by Berkfinger (singing and guitar)
1. Get up very early – much earlier than is healthy for a rock and roller. In fact, it will be so early that you may as well have not gone to bed. About 7am will do just fine.

2. Call a genius friend who understands about how to plug things that make sound and vision in to one another (e.g. Nic McKenzie from Deep Sea Arcade who is even better at directing film clips than he is at singing out the front of one of Sydney’s coolest bands). If you don’t have such a friend, dedicate the rest of the day to finding one.

3. Take a whizz. This will probably be your last chance to do so all day.

4. Oh did I mention there needs to be a whole bunch of children? And
animals?! Don’t worry I called them, they will be arriving any minute.

5. Feed the kids, entertain the kids, keep the kids out of trouble. Kids are pretty fun. They don’t yet have the fear in them that has made you such a crappy dancer. Pet all of the animals.

6. Dance around like idiots to the song “Going To The Casino
(Tomorrow Night)” about 28 times and then end with a food fight. The
kids will not be happy as they were promised lollies and cake at the
end of the shoot – the very lollies and cake you just destroyed in the name of art and commerce.

7. Wait two weeks for some mythical creature name The Editor to make it so you can watch the film clip. You will not hear or see the editor, but will be comforted by the fact that they are making everything all right. Send the clip to your friends and loved ones in an effort to prove to them that you are actually doing something with your life. Oh yeah also send it to Rage and Channel V – they love you guys at the moment.

8. Write a new song then back to step 1.
