Video: The Neighbourhood, ‘Female Robbery’

The Neighbourhood tiptoed out of Newbury Park in late January when their first song “Female Robbery” premiered on Zane Lowe’s BBC show. A lot has happened since. The single “Sweater Weather” blew up on both sides of the pond; the quintet’s identities were revealed; they released their “I’m Sorry” EP; they scored a record deal; and they’re currently working on their debut album. Now the original song that put them on the map has gotten a bit of a makeover, courtesy of Grammy-winning producer Emile Haynie (Eminem’s “Recovery”) and Justyn Pilbrow. “Female Robbery” also gets a compelling video treatment from two guys who’s been close to the band since the beginning, Zack Sekuler and Daniel Iglesias Jr. The Neighbourhood has a slew of shows to close out out 2012, including dates supporting Animal Kingdom, Maximo Park and the Temper Trap.

Love the new version of this song. I’m Sorry is one great EP too. Can’t wait to see what they do with their debut. I missed them when they played in Downtown LA but stoked to be seeing them in Orange County on the 12th.
