 Vancouver indie funk rock group Raincity are pleased to announce the release of their 'Crazy' video, premiering exclusively on Aesthetic Magazine today. 

‘Crazy’ is a track from Raincity's self-titled EP which was released in June 2019. The ‘Crazy’ video was directed by Wayne Chung and Bailey Wood, who also did their 'Give This Up'  video, and features artwork by Vancouver artist, Taka Sudo, who created the cover of Raincity’s latest EP.

'Crazy' is a song with a strong feminist message, so Raincity wanted the release of the video to coincide with International Women’s Day on March 8th. 

‘Crazy' is a song about betrayal and gaslighting," says Raincity vocalist Clare Twiddy. "It talks about a relationship where the other person is hiding information from you and making you feel crazy for looking into it. We wanted to portray the same feeling by showing ourselves on display in an art museum and having the critics look through us as if they weren’t hearing us. The stark contrast of lighting in the video and the shots where the critics are missing, allude to the experience of thinking 'it’s all in my head' which are the last lines of the song.”

Raincity (formerly known as Raincity Blue) recorded their debut album Stuck on Replay in 2017 and released the album to a sold-out audience at Vancouver’s Wise Hall in January 2018. Throughout 2018, the band progressed to the Top 100 of CBC Searchlight, performed at a number of festivals (including Victoria’s Rifflandia and the Vancouver International Jazz Festival), and won contests including: the Hard Rock Casino's Rock the Mic, Music Heals Covers for the Cause, and The Roxy Launch Project. 

The band recently won the Best in Vancouver band contest and opened for Vancouver funk legends Five Alarm Funk at The Commodore Ballroom in December 2019. Raincity plan to spend much of 2020 on the road and will be releasing a brand new single this summer. 

Raincity's self-titled EP is available now on Spotify, Apple Music/iTunes, and other digital retailers and streaming services. For more information, please visit: thatbandraincity.com
