Skeleton boyfriends, spooky happenings, homicidal dolls, bruised Barbies, a peculiar Victorian gentleman... and our very own Christine Lockhart ripping the stuffing out of an apathetic mannequin.
Rain City Sirens present their curious, engaging - and occasionally puppet-aggressive - music videos.

'BONSOIR, AU REVIOR' 2018
When minds are closed, there can be no compromise: relationships give way to victimisation, blame and retribution. When opinions replace facts, no-one wins.
Anger. Resentment. Regret. Brussels. Paris. London. Brexit.

With so many ideas for music videos and short films, we are struggling to find the time to schedule them all in. Videos for two new track 'Still All There' and 'Black Balloons' are currently in pre-production. We also have an idea that involves a medical skeleton and the London Tube Network...but that one's for another day!
We are always looking for crew to help out on our projects - if you are interested get in touch via the contact page.
