Sorry about the late notice, but I realize some of you aren't on the Faceplace,
I'll be premiering my most ambitious music video to date, tomorrow
night at Union pool. For $8, there are 3 bands playing, with my muses,
The Giraffes headlining. the video is based on the true life cardio
mishaps and subsequent defibrillator malfunctions of singer, Aaron
Lazar.
That starts at 8pm.
It looks like it's going to be a pretty packed house so get there
early, and while I recommend catching the Giraffes live (one of the
best rock shows in NYC and another big inspiration to the video), to
accommodate everyone, we'll be showing the video around 3x during the
evening.
Once before The Giraffes play around 11pm.
Then afterwards at our wrap party - lets say 12:30
and maybe even 1:30 for the fashionable late.
If you come after the show, there's no cover. Just a viewing and a dance party.
If you can't make it, I'll be sending out a link to the video on
Monday. Either way, I definitely recommend reading the story that
inspired the song that inspired the video.
me, it'll take the video to another level.
Hope to see you there!
xoxo

Say, remember music videos? Neither do we. But we like the idea.
That's why when America's most meat-loving vegetarian / spasmodic
projectionist / videoista B.A. Miale approached us one afternoon at
the New College Diner with some story boards and promises of a ride in
a rowboat, we could not resist channeling our inner thespian. We're
pretty sure there's one between the four of us.
Now, we were thinking of a more "foil room" / Flock of Seagulls
performance-clip vibe, but B.A. had much grander things in mind. By
the time she was done with us, we had sailed the murky waters of the
Kings Plaza Marina; decimated a pinata in a frozen, rusty-nail
festooned alley; been soaked with fake (and perhaps some real) blood
and vomit; and put the "sloppy" in some truly sloppy joes. All this,
and we weren't even around for the stop action sequence featuring
He-Man villains and a set made entirely of meat from Key Food, with us
four Giraffes as stop-action figures.
Yes, B.A. took us on a long, demented, hilarious, disgusting journey
that culminates SATURDAY MARCH 7th at Brooklyn's de facto swingers
club UNION POOL with the DEBUT of the MUSIC VIDEO for "PRIME
MOTIVATOR."
Includes screening, outtakes and a LIVE performance from the
Giraffes. Eight buxxx will get you:
The VIDEO DEBUT, and THE GIRAFFES LIVE (pure beef!) at 10.30 pm
I'M IN YOU (putting the 'mental' in instrumental) at 9.30 pm
MOON RABBITS (Brooklyn's premiere potty-mouths) at 8.30 pm
Plus, DJ Jackie Roman on the double decks from heck.
And a patio filled with young, wide-eyed, fresh-faced new arrivals,
eager to learn all about New York.
And a piñata.
The video was evilly concocted and subsequently directed by B.A. Miale
Art director / chef: Masha Gvozdov
Cinematography / photography / discography / cartography: Jackie Roman

Union Pool: 484 Union Ave. at Meeke ... ah, don't act like you don't
know where Union Pool is.
