A sunny tale told in a local Fitzroy ice cream shop, the debut clip from Melbourne garage rockers The Slugg is a sweet treat that very rapidly takes a stomach-churning turn.

‘Got What I Deserved’ all starts innocently enough but, as the title would imply, things quickly turn nasty and debaucherous as the band tear into their ear-shredding blues riffs. Thought up by the duo of Tom Hulse and Jeremy Willcox shot We Are Moon House, the clip also features a few cameos from various members of the Melbourne music scene, so keep an eye out among the mayhem for some familiar faces.

The single is the just the first taste of what we can expect from the band in 2017, and we like what we hear so far. To see more from The Slugg, head down to Ninch Fest on January 14, which kicks off at St Andrews Beach on the Mornington Peninsula with Sheriff, Child, Stiff Richards, Zombitches Moonah Ripp and more along for the ride.
