FERNS' FIRSTEST MUSIC VIDEO
We're proud to present the music video for "This Sweet Refrain" which was shot as part of the Garage Video Project for the Fortnight Music Festival (www.junkonline.net/fortnight) on a Nokia n93 camera phone. Put together by video genius Fairuz Sulaiman aka Blur (whom who owe a debt of gratitude), the vid should bring back fond memories of wholesome living room karaoke with your folks. Not the ones by the poolside featuring barely-clad nymphs. Nope, who needs that? We have a fish.
