(For other recent song Saturdays see here)
So of the original five bands I wanted to see at Slam Dunk Waterparks is the second band I most wanna see. And between the Set It Off post and this one the set times have been posted so I can see most of the bands I wanna see woo!
So why is Waterparks second? Well I’ve really wanted to see them again, I only saw them once, and I’m still kicking myself for missing the last tour. I almost went to see them in November but because it was at the terrible venue I was put off (and I’m kicking myself more cause Seapeekay was there too!)
I got into Parx way late so I missed most of the hype but they’re just so pretty and Awsten is so incredibly unhinged. And I love how his hair is always a wild bright colour
I’m gonna post three vids now (I think that seems to be a decent amount) but unlike Set It Off it felt a bit harder to choose which three (especially since there’s some I’ve not seen and probably should've). So maybe I’ll do another post with them somewhere down the line cause I definitely feel I’ve missed a good video or two. (it doesn’t help that it seems they’re scattered around the place and not all on their YouTube)
(Also when are we getting a serial killer Otto vid? I need it. [I should finish that fic with him])
First off is Crave which is my fav of the three songs, and one of my fav Parx songs cause it gets stuck in my head. It’s a shame it’s an early song cause it doesn’t get played as often.
The video feels pretty random, I think it was just an excuse for the band to have a video with dogs (which fair!) and to use the name Waterbarks. And then there’s the fact the boys are dressed up in dog suits for some reason? Which definitely feels like someone (probably Awsten) has a fetish.
Next is Violet! Which is a massive time jump from Crave (2015 for Crave, 2021 for Violet) so again I definitely feel I’m missing some good videos from the interim.
Violet!’s from Greatest Hits which is, possibly, my fav album of theres, maybe cause it was the first new one that came out since getting into them. Violet! Is kinda a story video about Awsten being stalked by a strange eyeball thing. It feels the stalking could’ve been more of the focus (I mean it has a lyric about broken knees which feels, like Set It Off’s projector having a Hannibal refer but no content in the vid, like a missed opportunity)
Lastly is Funeral Grey, which is probably an odd choice. When I first heard it I was a bit eh about it, but it’s kinda grown on me, mostly cause of the lyrics feeling like it’s an excuse for Awsten to be pervy.
The vid is strange but again feels like it’s an excuse for Awsten to be kinky. This time he is collared and then tied up in intricate rope bondage for reasons which only he knows.
It’s a shame there’s not a video for Brainwashed, but I’m sure it would’ve been so unhinged.

Hopefully I’ll do another post later, either a general one or the round up or maybe a fic.
