In addition, to increase the anticipation for the sweaty and intense club shows, Neonfly have released a brand new live music video for the track “Last of our Kind“. The footage for the video was filmed a year ago, during the band’s latest tour through Mexico and provides the perfect appetizer for what you can expect at the upcoming shows!
Guitarist & composer Frederick Thunder on the video: “The video was shot exactly a year ago whilst the band was on tour in Mexico. It was our first tour there, and being Mexican myself, it was an incredible experience to be able to go back to Mexico and perform there live with Neonfly for the first time, after so many years. It was one of the most exciting tours we’ve ever done. We played a few headline shows and a few shows supporting Epica. The fans were absolutely wild and what was incredible was having the chance to perform to very large crowds that had never heard of us before, and seeing how they fell in love with the band as we played our set and were going absolutely wild by the end of the show.”
He continues: “The whole video was shot and edited by my good friend Daniel Zanco, who did a fantastic job, and really captured the excitement and good vibes of those shows. And now that we’re about to hit the road again, this time in Germany, another one of our favourite countries where we have toured so much over the past 10 years, we thought it would be great to release this video with scenes from the road to get everyone pumped up about our upcoming shows supporting the awesome Escape The Fate, which I think will be a great match for us musically, especially with our latest album. We can’t wait to meet them and to make a lot of new friends on the road!
“Last of our Kind” is taken from the band’s latest album “The Future, Tonight” (2021, Noble Demon) and is a hard-hitting song with modern riffs and a contemporary feel, which is also reflected in the lyrics. Vocalist Willy Norton comments: “It’s a song about chaos and how chaos is bringing us politically and the democracies to our knees. And how frightening that can be and how that might lead to a terminal decline in the way we live, hence the last of our kind, there’s no one left. And the last of our kind of the people who believe in reason, the people who believe in ideas, the people who believe in equality, the people who believe in us holding the line between stupidity, not fun stupidity, but just stupid stupidity, and using our heads to keep the world going.”
