Devin Townsend Shares “Ziltoid” Footage & Cover Of Vengaboys’ “We Like To Party! (The Vengabus)”

Devin Townsend has shared the second and third installments of his recently announced “Quarantine Project.” They include footage from the original version of “Ziltoid TV” and a cover of the Vengaboys‘ “We Like To Party! (The Vengabus).“

Townsend said the following about the “Ziltoid TV” footage:

“Ok, so this was the original version of ZTV we had done for the Z2 album cycle, but it was deemed ‘too gross’ by a mess of people (specifically those closest to me =) But it was fun as shit, and Im glad to have found it again. =)

This puppet was made by Violet Casselden, The editing was done by Mike StJean with some other folks Im afraid I cant remember the names of, Dave Young and myself controlled the puppet (I was the face, Dave was the arms) Roger Mowatt controlled the eyes, and Bill Courage did the voiceovers.

I love doing this sort of thing. Its a lot of work, but so cathartic. Sorry about the juvenile humor, I think stuff like this is funny. I dont mean to offend, Im just a child I guess.”

He also added the following about the Vengaboys’ cover:

“OK, so here’s an unmixed version of this song (I’ll mix it once I’ve got some video content) and I just threw together a dumb visual as a placeholder too…

The idea is: If you’re bored or self Isolated right now, have some fun and make some video footage and send it to me on twitter, then I’ll mix this and redo a compilation video.

This song features the fantastic Anneke Van Giersebergen in the chorus and the fantastic Che Aimee Dorval in the verse

Sorry to Jasper, who has told me for years not to post this, but man…desperate times require desperate actions…

The original song was by The Vengaboys“
