This Is Serious Mum - TISM - Thunderbirds Are Coming Out

[@sarahcarroll1495]

It was such a great day and a cool thing to be part of...my favourite bits were: when the drummers all got set up and started playing together, and being next to the Kiss guys. Also watching the director tell half the guitarists they couldn't act like zombies.

[@maxcelcat]

Bloodduster played their last gig in late 2017. Tickets were $6.66 each.

[@wouldbeawesome]

'Parents puppet 'til my teenage years when I rebelled and swapped them for my peers' remains one of my favourite couplets.

[@goodwine5626]

Nearly 20 years this clip - how amazing would it be to re-shoot this clip with all the original bands.

[@digbyrusden6346]

As our next Eurovision entrant

[@gonzalocruz4234]

20 years now

[@bradley772]

AMAZING ! That's how it would be.

[@jemborg]

That's got to be one of the most brilliant MV clips ever made. Genius. I like to think it's a reflection of how much TISM were loved.

[@hoilst]

If Lionel Ritchie's "Hello" is the Battleship Potemkin of filmclips, surely this is the Russian Ark of filmclips...

[@NinoNiemanThe1st]

Anyone else notice the start of this song is sampled from the Division 4 theme? TISM: always full of surprises!

[@APH1991]

I find it appropriate Blair McDonough appearing at the start. He was on the first season of Big Brother and this song was on some eviction shows in the 2nd season.

[@gonzalocruz4234]

The lead singer of Zoot Ax is like Fred Durst fused with Steve Harwell. Also has anyone noticed that all of Tiltmeter's members are tilting their heads?

[@claytonmoody265]

This Film Clip will Finish off my RAGE Tribute show if i was ever to be allowed on the Couch........

[@puppypower222]

Omg i can't believe ringwood secondary made it in this

[@beauanderson7187]

Comedy. There has never been enough TISM in this world

[@CLGB-2005]

The lead singer of Fatty Cramps is also a member of TISM (also appears in Greg You Missed The Stop Sign)

[@t3l3phasicworksh0p]

This defines my life in Oz 1998-2003.

[@benmoulds9983]

one of those just around two minutes is the dude from Tripod??

[@Sirenhound]

Is that Scod wearing the Stream shirt in "Webster" looking at the top of the guitar? 2:00

[@Hegder]

Yep!

[@SelbySavidge]

Some awesome band names in there.

[@moistie]

Jock Cheese (TISMs bassist) is seen unmasked at 2:30 in the brown coat and blonde hair.

[@Jagonath]

what an awesome concept for a video clip. It must have taken bloody forever to organise this!

[@ezrecognise]

is that first guy blair from neighbours back in the day?

[@annarks70]

OH I LUV IT!!! TISM still ROCK! My fave track & video.....so funny when they realize the song has ended!!! Yes they are all real bands.....e.g 28 days..Must have been a BLAST to be a part of that video!

[@nelo01]

LOLZ at the bassist from "where's bec?" hahaha

[@registradus]

one of my favourite videos. of all time.

[@patmac251188]

@onyachamp Blair and his brothers Wade, Gavin and Ryan were members of the band Snubrocket (later re-named Fifth Avenue), which was one of 30 that appeared in the music video clip for TISM's song "Thunderbirds Are Coming Out" in 1998.

[@Nogli]

I know the guy in the brown coat at 2:32 is one of the members of TISM, but where is the other? The video description says it happens twice!

[@pauliejay4161]

2:13 - Some people say it is the singer in Fatty Cramps, the guy jumping up and down. I have noting to corroborate this with however.

[@annarks70]

one of the best clips made ever!

[@dishliquid]

Sick guitar moves at 1:03

[@VoyageOne1]

"Piffen Yonnies" "Dynamo & The Hornosexuals" LOL

[@daveb8823]

Before this video came out i'd seen 4 of these bands (not incliding TISM). That is still the count, though i think a few of those guys a still kicking around in bands today.

[@jtbond1975]

fucking Blood Duster!!!! most prolific support band spawned by Melbourne!!!! and that's enough said.

[@Brendanvio]

@Nogli I've heard it may have been Cheese, but it I could quite possibly be wrong. Judging from the closing shot it may be Les Misrebles or Jon St. Peenis

[@newperve]

Anyone else see this clip and think "Wait a second is this TISM without the masks? Excellent!"?

[@strewthtomusic]

Blair before big brother or neighbours (First Band if your wondering)

[@ryanw1140]

wow brilliant video! love the concepts

[@CarbieWarbie]

@hippyhudson72 Go Check out ROOT! next time they are playing. Their lead singer, D.C. Root was Humphrey B. Flaubert in TISM. Lyrically and musically, it is the closest you will ever get.

[@ollytheosteo]

2.08 = Amazing Bass face :D

[@_guitar_dad]

Ringwood Secondary College yeahhh! Comment if you were with me haha

[@stevolution898]

Wow some good old bands there.

[@VerySplendid]

I just love this video so much!

[@LUXElimousines_AUS]

SO SIMPLE>.... SO BRILLIANT

[@Erlangga-vj3iu]

what the shit, this is masterpiece, hahahahaha

[@sydeston]

Is that Ben Birchall doing his Rick Brewster from the Angels impersonation at 2:20?

[@cosmicowl2372]

That guy at 2:45 is crazy

[@hookyspick]

Susannah Espie's lip lick is hilarious

[@music4real]

Does anyone know the location where this was filmed?

[@dlepz]

Cyclone Tracy singer, John Safran in disguise?

[@robmclean4352]

It's a damn shame Ruby Doomsday isn't a real band!

[@markagerman1223]

TISM Genius

[@nelo01]

haha nice spotting, i never noticed that before.

[@zofodraziweht]

Anybody know what happened to the band The Shine?

[@crowy85]

wonder why frankenbok or frenzal werent in the film clip...

[@BigotedAussie]

What a Gem.

[@AaranC]

Brilliant!

[@TechNed]

Such a brilliant clip.

[@RoasterMcdougalify]

lol was that actually 28 days?

[@johnbenias5090]

Yep. Sure was. Saw them live a couple of times. That was definitely them in this absolutely brilliant video.

[@NathanUltimatum]

Sounds different than the one on the album. Still an awesome song!

[@tmofee]

@scottone10 hehe. nope. i'm pretty sure 28 days were around much earlier than this clip. some of the more well known bands (mach pelican, blood duster) did the clip probably for the fun of it..

[@joshthomas2506]

If we're going by the tracky dacks they are wearing, then another member of TISM is the guitarist/bass player or whatever from 28 days is wearing those trackys!!!

[@pauliejay4161]

I don't see anyone in 28 Days with a stripe down the side of his pants...?

[@pinkeyebandit]

one of the guys from Webster looks like Tex Perkins, love to see if any other now famous ppl were in any of those bands except for the man ones

[@sundial5710]

wow.... I always thought the guy with blonde hair was just a manic depresser who was travelled on public transport in the outer Eastern Suburbs of Melbourne...

[@Chutwah]

love em

[@weprintit88]

filthy frank - lead singer of Funk X Plosion

[@anthonymolina2964]

Oh Yeh! TISM was Fucking Serious :)

[@steveparker8579]

Great song...Great band.

[@skuffone]

28days!

[@mikemichelson5673]

rad

[@peterbullen4956]

genius

[@onyachamp]

no your very wrong .........but the first bloke in the clip(snubrocket) is blair from big brother/neighbors..aaaannnd fuck this makes me laugh

[@achtsieben87]

Would that be Kevin Walsh at 1.01 ?

[@ACMA61]

Wheres Jason PC in Blood Duster?

[@schrodingersrevenge]

sean william scott sighting 2:10

[@thetechnoraveguy99]

lol 2:31 the lead singer had a flashback to the eighty's

[@HEREISMULLEER]

54321!

[@JamesOnscotch]

lol Damian Cowell (Humphrey B Flaubert) at 2:31.

[@pauliejay4161]

Which one? The guy in the brown coat is Cheese, isn't it?

[@93MickyD2]

Blair McDonough at the very start.

[@claytonmoody265]

Yeah i always thought that!

[@donkeypriests]

i may be very wrong but the guitarist in libido in a bottle. does any1 else think he shows a striking resemblence to one of the chaser boys?

[@Cuzjudd]

yeah nah yeah. nah. it's not Andrew Hansen

[@the1truebeliever]

Nothing like TISM.

[@quell82]

fucking great video

[@angusseydel9733]

Some of these names are actually kinda good

[@maxcelcat]

You know these are real bands right? I spent many an evening in smokey bars watching some of them play.

[@gimbu2535]

Fuck. Yes.

[@shotgunreaper]

@atrafic Yup you are right.

[@morvelification]

[@AJRiddock]

Dedicated to the "Facebook Generation" :)

[@nickchapman8888]

tism rule

[@dogtiredd]

heh, I reckon one of the people dressed as TISM at the end there is a chick, the one wearing the khaki hood standing roughly in the middle, are they boobies I see a jiggling? AmIright?

[@Cuzjudd]

Keen eye, the one in the grey mask looks like b00bs

[@pariexon1107]

Could be Man Boobs :)

[@gonzalocruz4234]

It could perfectly be. Some of the members' identities are still unknown.
