Follow-up single 'Strange Thoughts On Sunday' amped-up The Moon Kids' psychedelic pop credentials, harnessing a tripped-out melody to the band's trademark chiming guitar sound. Flipside 'Popcorn Bullshit' has since become a staple on Japanese radio. The Smiths/Modest Mouse/Electronic mainman Johnny Marr is a fan.

Formed in Dunfermline, Scotland, by frontman David Barr, The Moon Kids have honed their sound in the studio with producers such as Michael Brennan Jnr (Super Furry Animals, Mogwai), Tony Doogan (Belle & Sebastian, Young Knives) and Rafe McKenna (Comsat Angels, Thrashing Doves). On the road they've played alongside the likes of Glasvegas, Tribes, The View, Raglans and up-and-coming northern rockers Neon Waltz, as well as turning in acclaimed performances at festivals such as T In The Park, Wickerman and Stereofunk.

The video also includes a nod to legendary LA DJ Rodney Bingenheimer - confidante of The Beatles, The Beach Boys and David Bowie - who helped break acts like The Ramones, Blondie and Sonic Youth on the West Coast.
