“Sober Motel/Bad Biology” Official Live Videos Still
Today, Toronto’s Dilly Dally are sharing the new live video for “Sober Motel/Bad Biology” (Official Live Videos) courtesy of NOW Magazine from their acclaimed LP, Heaven, out now via Dine Alone. The ‘live video’ was filmed during a secret show in The Coffin Factory Studios, which is currently where guitarist / vocalist Katie Monks lives, however all of the residents, most of whom are artists, are to be evicted on April 1 so the building can be torn down to make way for condos.
“It's so important to cause a fuss when these places fall off,” says Monks. “Ultimately, The Coffin Factory is a place where artists are free to be themselves. Make noise, experiment, collaborate, and live with people you may not have otherwise met. A place to worship the creative process and live out your dreams. I was lucky enough to live there there for the last few months.
As Dilly Dally heads out on our biggest North American tour yet, it's important to acknowledge where we actually came from and how we got here. If we had each moved to the city ten years ago without having spaces like this, the band probably wouldn’t exist today. Support from our community has been crucial.
This 'Live Music Video' is an expression of that. We put on a free secret show with all local artists inside our unit and filmed the building before it gets demolished April 1st, to make room for condos. To me, it's a symptom of a culture that looks down at the artists themselves, despite wanting to consume what they create. That's why it's so important to hold its memory up so high.”
