Toronto punks the Dirty Nil have hoppped in the way-back machine to deliver their latest music video behind last year's Higher Power LP. The band can be found clad in psychedelic swirls and bashing it out on a vintage variety show set in the video for "Friends in the Sky."

A press release notes that the video is modelled after the first time the Who hit The Smothers Brothers Show back in the '60s.

In this re-envisioning, a wise-cracking host tries to get some info out of the band, ultimately learning that some of the guys like bowling, while others prefer scowling on TV. What follows is an explosive performance of the pop-punk track.
