RVATrack Drops New Video For Spooky Cool’s ‘Strange Rooms’

by | Feb 19, 2018 | COMMUNITY

Richmond five-piece outfit Spooky Cool has been one of the more elusive bands on the scene for the last few years. Up until recently, there was no social media or recordings to track them down, but determined fans caught them at their epic live shows, where they have carved out a name for themselves with their unique prog rock/psych pop math-y sound.

But back in October, the band released a video for the genre-defying, catchy song “Black Wine,” courtesy of the folks over at Good Day RVA. And now Spooky Cool is back with a video for their single “Strange Rooms,” which the group dropped in September.

It’s fun and upbeat and I’m mad at myself that I haven’t heard it until now. Spooky Cool worked with local film collective RVATrack to record their live music video and it looks like they had a good time rocking out.

Spooky Cool just kicked off their Winter Tour a few days ago which will take them from North Carolina to Tennesse, to Georiga, to Pennsylvania to promote their upcoming debut album, Every Thing Ever, slated to drop in June. Give this video a watch and be sure to catch Spooky Cool March 5 at their show at Strange Matter.
