Harry Koniditsiotis’s Memphis goth rock supergroup Switchblade Kid has a new full-length record, 3. How does Koniditsiotis, the entrepreneur behind 901 Toys and Midtown Con, the producer and engineer at 5 & Dime Recording, and frequent DJ, find time to continue to make great tunes himself?
He’s got help from bandmates Bryan Jet, Tim Kitchens, Tony Luttrell and Julia Mulherin. Koniditsiotis says “Shot,” the first single from 3, is “a post punk rockabilly stomper full of dreamy reverb and feedback guitars, perfect for your upcoming Goth beach party or late-night fast driving.”
The video, Koniditsiotis says, is inspired by Tim Broad’s classic clip for “Girlfriend in a Coma.” The layered video images are the visual equivalent of the layered guitars and synths which are Koniditsiotis’ trademark as a producer. Take a look, and a listen.
