Anyone who is a frequent passenger of London buses knows that at times it can be a very ‘blah’ experience. However, leave it up to Benin City to transform a ride into an all-out party. Here is the video for the appropriately titled single ‘Bus’. Directed by George Bushaway, the fun and spirited vid captures the liveliness of public transport, with the group performing the brilliant song that is now a soundtrack to our commutes. ‘Bus’ is taken from Benin City’s forthcoming album Last Night, out June 15th via Moshi Moshi Records.
Touching on the video, Benin City mentioned:
“We filmed this on a London bus between 7pm and 2am on a Friday night. We thought we’d get kicked off by the driver or shouted at by commuters, but London was a hell of a lot nicer than we expected. We ended up having a party with our friends and strangers amidst a busy night bus home. Also the seats were nice and clean. Big up TFL.”
