Seeing Is Believing: We Have A New Video
2/28/2010
We are pleased as punch to unveil our new video for "St. Yesterday" for your viewing enjoyment!
A few weeks ago, when we were in the studio finishing the recording for Dreamers, our friend Thor Radford stopped by with a bright idea. Thor offered to help us get a video together for "St. Yesterday," and we were delighted to have his expertise for the project. We did our best passionate lip-syncing, and received some valuable assistance from Thor's son Julian who helped us transform a corner of the studio into a living-room style set.
Fast forward a couple more weeks and it was time for us to shoot the "dramatic" footage. We wanted some shots of me driving around in my old Dodge Dart with the top down, and busking in the bus tunnel. I've never been much of a busker in real life, but as it turned out it was a lot of fun to play and sing for people standing on platforms and riding up and down escalators. I might have to try it again sometime, so don't be surprised if you catch me on your morning commute in the near future. Thor worked the camera while his wife Carrie lurked mysteriously in the background; I'm pretty sure she was the actual "talent" on this shoot. We had a great time barnstorming around the International District in the Dart, and wrapped up a solid day of shooting with a little wine and some indiscernible snacks from Uwajimaya.
Now you can check out the results for yourself. We're really happy with it, and needless to say we are VERY grateful to Thor and Carrie for their time and effort on this project. After hearing so many famous musicians bitch and complain about making videos all these years, imagine my surprise when I found out it was actually a lot of fun! Can't wait to start the next one...
This week we head back into the studio to commence the final mixing of Dreamers. Currently working on a CD Release show and other goodies. In the meantime, digging a lot of new music from Glossary, the Retribution Gospel Choir and others.
Cheers,
Patrick
