Moreover, the music video for Hips was released to critical acclaim, receiving Best Music Video honors from the Los Angeles Film Awards. For the latest video Brunettes Shoot Blondes designed a unique music instrument packed with a whole orchestra & performed their new song “Houston” live. The band brought a broken, vintage grand piano to life, by reengineering it into a hybrid, containing 20 instruments in it. The musicians came up with an idea of making a true analog apparatus which could play different instruments nested inside the rim just by playing the keys. So when pressing a key, the piano hammers beat a marimba, tambourine, cymbals or even castanets. There are also special mechanical devices that allow for the playing of cello, violins, and organ. Brunettes Shoot Blondes also has competed in the Ukrainian Song Selection for Eurovision 2019 with the song “Houston”.
