California Bay Area funk-rock outfit Just Friends deliver one of the more exciting live performance experiences amongst emerging bands in the industry today. The 10-piece group, which specializes in mixing funk with punk, showcase their high-energy showmanship and collective creative expression with one of their newer singles, “Stupid”.
Today, Live For Live Music is excited to premiere Just Friends’ new music video for “Stupid”, which takes viewers on the road by showcasing the high-energy of their live shows with a montage of footage that plays like a visual scrapbook.
The 3:21-minute video pieces together a fun mix of live footage, typically from the point-of-view of the band onstage. The footage is edited together so that multiple camera shots are shown at once, with some subtle but fun animations adding to the video’s unique layout. From start to finish, the music video for “Stupid” acts as a thrilling snapshot of live Just Friends shows and all the fun that comes when they get together on stage and let it all loose in front of their fans—who are also very game for a good time, as seen throughout the video.
“Just Friends getting rowdy out here in northern Cali with ‘Stupid’, the new game day party anthem,” The band mentioned in a statement about their new video. “RIP Mac Dre. This one’s for the Oakland Colosseum and the 510 925 408 707 650 415. This one’s for California, the greatest state on planet earth. Welcome to JFCREW town baby.”
