A couple get their kicks by breaking into strangers' homes in Louis Krommenhoek's anarchic comedy for Brixton-based post-punk band Alien Chicks.In the video for Babe - Krommenhoek's third collaboration with the group - the couple amuse themselves and add a spark to their relationship by rummaging through other people's clothing, defacing their art, stealing their jewellry - and eating their cake. And all the while, the band watch on and perform the track whilst trapped within the confines of picture frames found in the house.With energetic, off-the-wall performances from John McGeachie and Francesca Hess as the couple engaged in this brazen behaviour, it makes for memorable and slightly unnerving viewing as it zips through its 2-minute runtime.
