Music Videos
Short Stack currently have 3 music videos. The first music video they released was for the song titled Sway Sway Baby which was filmed on a camera phone and posted onto YouTube. The video received 5000 views on the first day - making it the most popular video on the site that day.
Since this Short Stack have had 2 other music videos professionally produced. The first was Drop Dead Gorgeous - this video involved the band playing on a rooftop and around Sydney.
This was followed by the video for Shimmy a Go Go in which they recruited their fans to get involved in the video. The setting was dark, the band played while the fans crept closer and became increasingly active and interested in the music. It was to have a Vampirous quality; with all fans encouraged to wear plain, dark clothes and Gothic make- up.
Both Drop Dead Gorgeous and Shimmy a Go Go have aired on TV shows such as Video Hits. They have also been on Channel V and MTV.
They performed their new single Shimmy a Go Go at the 2008 Kids' Choice Awards in Melbourne.
They very recently toured around Australia with Simple Plan and it has just been released that they will tour Australia again with The Veronicas and Metro Station in February 2009.
In early December, Short Stack shot the video for their future single Princess. This will be released at the "Princess Ball" held at Sydney Entertainment Centre on March 14. Short Stack have hinted that they may bring this much anticipated Princess Ball to Melbourne but nothing has been finalised as of yet.
