CG footage? There's... a total of 5 secs of CG in the thing, give or take... everything but the pan of the shacks is a real set, built at a performance art gallery here.

Bren R.

are you sure you're not just biased?

Umm.. nope... and I have the scientific backing of the production stills and first hand complaints from the band and director (side note - he was the 2D/3D Lighting Coordinator on X-Men 2) on working in the enclosed spaces.

I was on-set for the last vid, but didn't have time to take a run down for this one.

Reminds me of Tom Petty's "Don't Come Around Here No More" winning best special effects... there were no special effects used - just big sets and props.

But everyone knows that MTV killed the Video Star.

Looks good Bren (I thought this thread needed a bump anyways). The Harlots are actually at the top of my cd shopping list, but I've had to shift my priorities to new home shopping mode I would sure like to check them out live though, hopefully they'll announce some new dates soon.

More on the thread topic, some new bands worth checking out are Franz Ferdinand who are kind of a White Stripes/Strokes garage/new rock mix. Powderfinger is a good ole' fashioned rock band who aren't new, but really aren't all that well known outside of homeland Australia. Also fans of Coldplay should check out Snow Patrol.

They're getting a ton of radio play on Power97, they're playing the Zoo soon aren't they?

I'll definitely check those artists out. Thanks for the recommendations.

To toss a couple more recommendations out there,
Rilo Kiley and Shivaree are both rather awesome, though Shivaree's latest is only available in Europe.

If I was a betting man, Rilo Kiley would be at the top of my list for 'future music superstars', and that in a good way.

Cool! Rilo Kiley sounds great -- too bad she's already been through my area this year.

Ah, drat. The band is releasing a new CD this summer, so there'll hopefully be another tour soon.

The Sun says Powderfinger is on Tuesday @ Silverado's. They described them as the Tragically Hip of Australia, really popular there but unable to break in the U.S. I'd go, but I'm already headed into the 'Peg Wednesday night for the Distillers.
