Wild gun shootouts. Bloodshed and Rock N’ Roll. What began as a Tarantino inspired video clip has evolved into a Spaghetti Western short film.
Kingswood are one of the most exciting Australian rock bands going round, and having shot a stylish video for their latest single ‘Ohio’, the Melbourne quartet hit on such a good target that they have turned it into an epic 10-minute short film.
Shot in and around Sydney and rural New South Wales by young film crew Wonderworld Films, Some Motherfucker’s Gotta Pay is a slick tribute to B-movie cinema that stars Kingswood as well as a host of emerging Australian musicians and bands. The mini-epic features cameos from Seth Sentry, Thelma Plum, Kira Puru, cult surf legend Reg Mombassa.
Some Motherfucker’s Gotta Pay also stars legendary Sydney pub The Annandale, along with former owner Dan Rule and unofficial house band, Sydney’s Sticky Fingers. A teaser for the new rock movie has emerged online (which you can view below) with the full-length short film to get an airing on Saturday 1st June in an exclusive premiere at Melbourne’s Eureka Rebellion Trading.

The news of Kingswood’s new Tarantino-esque short film arrives with a whole new ream of tour dates for the Melbourne rockers, touring extensively around the country through May, June, and July off the back of their deluxe EP Change Of Heart, which our Tone Deaf reviewer awarded a 8/10 score, saying it “hit the nail on the head… [its’] both punchy and polished.”
Kingswood have just wrapped up a support slot with Aerosmith and complete a tour with Aussie rock veterans, Grinspoon, which claimed equally high praise from fans and crtitics alike. In their hometown show they delivered a “high octane, high energy, speaker shaking and spontaneous set,” according to our reviewer, while another writer proclaimed: “Grinspoon fans were blown away by Kingswood and they’ve great potential to make their mark on the Aussie rock scene… Kingswood is simply the real deal.
These dates will be the last run of Australian shows before Kingswood head overseas to the US to record their anticipated debut album in Nashville, Tennessee.
