WAAX’s latest video for “Wild & Weak” reminds me of being very, very wasted in Brisbane. Cruising idly through Chinatown, making sure to grab a tallie for the short walk up to karaoke at the Brunno.
Being on a bender in Fortitude Valley can be absolutely terrifying, due to its dense size and mass populations of young people wanting to get on the piss, and WAAX completely nail what it feels like partying away your problems in that Queensland epicentre of booze, clubs and bars.
