This is the first and only video that the members of Throw appeared in, although the 1995 video for Honeyblonde does have puppet likenesses of the band in it, and there is now a live performance video from CTV on line.
The video was directed by John Christoffels and had a full crew and a camera crane lugged out to Castle rock for this clip.
Throw were a Christchurch New Zealand band who performed live in nz from 1991 - Sept 1992. they released an ep (all Different things) in 1992 before retiring from live performances. The Rememory album was released in 1994 and in April 2005 a collection of unreleased studio tracks (Dreambaby Goodbye) was released.
The band comprise
Jeremy Taylor - Vocals and Guitars
Rob Mayes - Bass and Guitars
Steve Birss - Drums

@Kerrin168 Thanks Kerrin. I'm still trying to locate a copy of the jumping out a window video. No one I know has a copy although I do remember it well from its tv airings. There is a small piece of it in introduction the live Celebration of the skin video in the failsafe channel

Thanks for this absolute gold. I never saw them live but I catch this on CTV alot. Have the Good Things CD and it carries me back to Christchurch. Why do I think of Feast of Stevens ? The CHCH music scene in the 90's was a magical time and place. Much love CHCH thank you for helping provide a soundtrack for my adolescence. Failsafe Records never failed in the delivering quality and with these clips we now have a time capsule of these beautiful gems. Kia kaha
