NEW YORK, NY (February 18, 2014) - VEVO is premiering the new music video from FILTER for their current single, “Surprise” today. Watch it HERE. The video features singer, Richard Patrick and guitarist, Jonny Radtke as well as Richard Patrick’s daughter Sloan and was directed by Gus Black (Atlas Genius, Deftones).
“This video is the best FILTER video so far,” said Richard Patrick. “I had an idea about how fierce a single mother would have to be ‘If she had nothing at all but lived her life right,’ being there for her children like a wolf is for her cubs or a hawk is for her chicks. Gus Black had respect for what I was trying to say. He took my concept and made it the beautiful tribute that it is. For that Jonny and I are eternally grateful. Thank you Gus. Not to mention…the debut of my daughter as an actor. Great job Sloan!”
Gus Black adds, "I have a friend in life with Richard --I loved working with him and have always been a fan of the band."
FILTER will be playing Soundwave and Sidewaves in Australia beginning February 22 in Brisbane. The band will play seven dates in Australia before coming home to the States to play Rocklahoma among other dates (see all dates below). More dates will be announced soon.
