“Our crew found this house deep in the countryside. There had been a violent break-in and severe vandalism, but the police had abandoned the crime scene. The old lady and owner of the house had died. It was packed with smashed furniture and apparatus from the old communist days, so it was perfect for making a trashy video,“ says director Pat Reiniz.
“It was the most disgusting house I have ever seen. It was shockingly messy. The floor was covered with filth and broken things all over,” says Misty Mae, the female Rednex performer.
The video has been criticized by several artist colleagues for creating controversy by being vulgar, sexist, obscene and promoting weapons and alcohol.
“The story is about manly stereotypes, including sex and violence. The male character is inspired from serial killers. The video is very original and very Rednex,” says Dagger, the Rednex performer who has the lead role.
Pat Reiniz explains further: “Rednex have always been inspired by destruction, decay and dust. This lead us to invent a new genre called Meta-Neo-Turpism”. The original genre Turpism has its roots in the Polish poetry movement from the 1950’s and can be defined as – the indulgence of the repulsive and unsightly.

WHY THEY SAY REDNEX IS INSANE
* In 2007, Rednex became the first band ever to offer itself for sale on eBay for $1,5M. It is still for sale.
* In 2012, Rednex trashed the convention of the permanent band. Today, the band is a pool of 14 rotating performers from 7 countries. It happens that they have two shows at the same evening in different countries. This concept has caused the management to label the band as immortal with the slogan “Last Band on Earth”.
* Rednex offers itself as a franchise. The New Zealand franchise ran for 18 months in 2013.
* In the original biography in 1994, Rednex claimed to be inbred hillbillies from Brunkeflo in Idaho, USA. It took media six months to reveal the hoax.
* An endless trial battle has raged between the owners of Rednex and the former performer Annika Ljungberg since 2007. In September 2018 is the next round in the second highest court (Hovrätten) of Sweden.
* Rednex is scheduled to perform a tour in China in 2019.
* Rednex averages 0.25 arrests, 0.40 hospital visits, 0.11 lawsuits and 500 bottles of Jägermeister per
single. Jägermeister continues to refuse a sponsorship in spite of many friendly proposals.
