Having today been advised that the new music video for “I Always Get Into Stuff” is a finalist in Tripod’s 2009 Idio Clips competition, it is now confirmed that the video will be featured as part of Tripod’s Comedy Festival show. The show, also titled “Idio Clips”, will take place at Melbourne’s Comedy Theatre on Sunday 19th April, in which Tripod will perform the songs live to the music videos, as they are presented on a large screen.

UPDATE: Well, we didn’t win, but we had a good time. That’s what you’re supposed to say to save face when you’ve been cheated out of your winnings, right? In all seriousness though, congratulations to the winners, and time permitting, we may be back next year!

For the last three years, Australian Musical Comedy group Tripod have ran an annual competition and Melbourne Comedy Festival show known as Idio Clips. The objective of the competition is to create a music video for any song from Tripod’s catalogue. The entries of the competition are then voted on by Tripod themselves, and finalists are chosen to be screened at Tripod’s Melbourne International Comedy Festival show on Sunday 19th April 2009, where they will perform the songs live to the clips as they play on a large screen.

This year, for the first time in the three years the competition has been running, my group of cronies and I are finally removing our posteriors from their respective sitting positions, and creating an Idio Clip entry of our own. Filming has begun last weekend, and should be wrapping up in two weeks time.

Tickets for the Idio Clips show can be purchased online here. We can’t guarantee that we’ll make the finals, but we’re an optimistic bunch.

DISCLAIMER: Though I am a fan of Tripod, it should be noted that the last two projects I have been working on just happen to both be Tripod-related projects, and just happen to have fallen end-to-end – this is purely coincidental. In short, don’t misjudge me as someone who lives and breathes Tripod and only Tripod. Over the following months I will be presenting a veritable smorgasbord of sensory delights, so stay tuned.
