Watch Bub's New Video For 'Mrs. Julian Casablancas'

A love ballad first written when Bub's Priya Sami was only fifteen, then reimagined to feature on her Silver Scroll nominated Can't Even, 'Mrs. Julian Casablancas' resonates through the years to feel possibly even more devastatingly powerful in 2025. Capturing the nail-biting anxiety of wedding day jitters is a Bub's special guest-packed new video for said tune, a genuinely joyful tear-jerker, as Sami fulfils her lifelong dream of tying the knot with the lanky frontman of The Strokes — despite one attendee correctly pointing out, "That's not him." One of Tāmaki Makaurau's very best live acts, you too will be crying tears of joy when you catch Bub rockin' the all-star Going Global Festival this week, full timetable details below...

"Many thanks to all the beautiful people who made this wedding song video happen! So cool to have actualised 15 year old Priya’s dream - teenage crushes are intense."
