Today, motorcycle mending, chopper and skateboard-riding, blues-rocking duo THE PICTUREBOOKS have released their new single and music video ‘Primate Dancer‘, taken from their latest full-length album Albuquerque. The band are also due to hit the UK for a headline tour in a few short weeks, kicking off next month. The video for the track is a crazy stop motion video done in collaboration with one of their many skateboard buddies, Glen Biltz. Glen has been doing shorts in this style for a while and, when asked if he wants to collaborate with the band, he was all in. He sent a ton of material over for them to use, and they edited the video themselves. Including members of the skating community in their output is important to THE PICTUREBOOKS – members Fynn Claus Grabke and Philipp Mirtschink have both been skating since their childhood and actually met at the skatepark, the place where they decided to form a band. Fynn’s father, Claus Grabke, was also recently inducted into the Skateboarding Hall of Fame as the first European ever in 2024. It’s quite literally in their genes. |
