I was the featured "mess" character in the vid. Its been 22 years since I did it and this is the first time I've actually seen it. I've only seen the colour reshoot which was made a few years later. So its great to see the Joys at the Hoey in their element before the mainstream clip cancelled this one. Good to see myself too, so long after the event. Great band, great times, great scene.

Can this really be a full 2 decades old?

Check out their Facebook page and their pics of the crowd from the stage. Didn't see myself though :/

A riveting 80s song in any company.

@tNJippoes Ya, maybe in Aus. but in the US the conservative twats raised a nationwide drinking age to 21 killing off most the clubs with bands. So drink up Johnny before you go to Iraq... oh thats right, you can't.

by far the better video than the reshoot !

Another great band just before House Music killed Friday and Saturday nights at the club with a band.......
