In an interview with SPIN.com, California power-pop icons Redd Kross described the music video for “Stay Away From Downtown” as “Beat Club meets old-time kids show Hobo Kelly; just a fun rock’n’roll trip.” Since most of us are either too young or not German enough to remember either program, let’s just say the video features the band dressed like low-grade versions of Kiss while rocking out in front of a green screen.

The band’s first album in 15 years, Researching the Blues, hits stores tomorrow (08/07) via Merge Records.
