Last year, Oakland’s Talkies caught our ear with their hook-laced pop-rock sound. Since we first talked to them, Talkies have toured up and down the coast and released their debut cassette on Death Records. Today, they’re releasing a video for “Hollow”, a track from the aforementioned Death Records cassette. It features clips of the 1932 Fleischer Studios cartoon “Dancing on the Moon” synced up to the track 80’s aerobics style. OMG! It fits perfectly! But seriously, the cartoon’s a nice complement – check it out:

Talkies have a host of shows coming up, starting tomorrow night at Rickshaw with Pins and Queen Kwong. You can also catch them at Deathstock in Guernville June 27 and opening for Terry & Louie at The Night Light in July.
