Long Distance Calling issue Getaway video

Long Distance Calling
A still from the video

Long Distance Calling have released a video for their track Getaway.

It features on the German outfit’s upcoming album Trips – out on April 29 via InsideOut Music. They previously launched a lyric video for the track Lines.

The video features their fellow countryman and actor Ralf Richter, who starred in films including Bang Boom Bang and Das Boot – and the group report that working with him on the 80s-themed shoot raised a lot of laughs.

They say: “It was great fun to work with Ralf Richter who played in a lot of cool movies which we really like and which we grew up to. We are big fans of movies from the 80s and you might get a taste of that in the clip.

“The video shoot was fun and as you can see in the video, it was probably more fun for him than for us.”

Long Distance Calling will head out on a European tour in support of Trips later this month.
