Portland's favorite electro pop party band, STRFKR, recently unveiled a music video for "While I'm Alive". Directed by David Fine, the rather creepy (as in unsettling rather than frightening) choreographed piece on mortality presents a bizarre picture, where elements of humor, style, and poignancy are redolent rather than pronounced. The foursome might as well be a bonafide nomads by now as they seem to be on a perpetual tour. The new circuit commences with an appearance at FYF Fest in Los Angeles on August 24 and will keep the boys on the road for two months. Check out the video and the tour dates below.
"While I'm Alive" is off of Miracle Mile, released in February of this year via Polyvinyl.
