Self-moving wires and computer monitors? Sounds like Herbie Hancock's "Rockit" video.

EVIL self-moving wires and computer monitors? Welcome to the Blood Brothers' "Laser Life".

In the first video off the Bros' upcoming Young Machetes (due October 10 on V2), crazed lighting, machinery, and more turn on the band. We assume director Patrick Daughters utilized that nifty trick where you edit the footage to run backwards. Or else the Blood Brothers were actually attacked boa constrictor style by a bunch of wires.

As previously reported, the Blood Brothers and ...And You Will Know Us By the Trail of Dead launch a North American tour toward the end of the month. The latter band will support its upcoming So Divided, which is due on Interscope November 14.
