Couple UK Tour 2010: Liverpool Chapter (Teaser)
Directed by Faris

Watch HUMANZEE here NOW!! It features our song "Now That I Can See", our first flirtation with Hollywood! It's directed by James Gunn, who directed Slither and wrote the screenplay for Dawn Of The Dead, Scooby Doo, Scooby Doo 2, Tromeo & Juliet and loads more!

Originally part of the "Masters of Horror Do Comedy" project on Xbox Live involving such esteemed horror directors like James Gunn (Slither, Dawn Of The Dead), James Wan (Saw, Death Sentence), David Slade (30 Days Of Night, Hard Candy), Marcus Nispel (The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Friday The 13th), Andrew Douglas (The Amityville Horror) and Lucky McKee (May, The Woods), the final cut of Humanzee was deemed too violent for Xbox Live and have now finally found a home at Blip TV. Watch the whole pilot episode below:

One of the few true blue power pop bands in the region, Couple has been plying its trade for years now, dedicating itself to remind people of the virtues and magic of 'the song', and the power of the pop!! Taking cues from bands like The Beatles, The Beach Boys, Big Star, The Who, The Raspberries, The Beat, The Rooks, Enuff Znuff and Weezer, Couple has kept on doing what they do best and hope to put a smile (and hopefully a headbang or toe-tap or two) on all youse guys' faces. But, making you wet your pants will make us equally happy too!!

Relying solely, and foolishly, on the dodgy songcraft of our dodgy and lame frontman, Aidil, Couple has continued to defy the odds as none of us can play our instruments competently to save our lives, hoping to inspire similarly incompetent kids to just form their own bands and stick it to the Man!! Our live shows are textbook examples of the triumph of substance over style, if you call professional musicianship 'style', that is. Sloppy and loud, with more than a touch of toilet humor in our lame crowd banter (if we're up for it!!), our live shows will never fail to make you wet your pants with laughter and icky stuff. Yes, we're THAT good and THAT bad!!

Bottom line: We're here to serve the muse that is the pop! To pursue that magic in 'the song'. And to give you the sugar rush you need!!
