West Indian Girl

i was thinking that since i’m starting to accumulate random video clips of us it’s about time to organize them on one page. so, until my slow ass web graphics guy (hi todd) can make a pretty page for me on the media part of the site this blog video page will have to do. these file types are all random (mostly wmv) so for most of them just click the link and it will start your windows media player. if you dont have windows media player just go get one here: download options.

video #1 What Are You AFraid Of – this was the first “real” video we filmed – by real i mean expensive cameras, film crew, make up, elephant, you name it etc etc. it was a great time if you ask me. Ken and Dave from Filmworks/FX did an awesome job for the one day shoot at 2 beautiful summer california locations. it was intense working with an elephant – they’re massive but really calming to be around. look closely and you will see my dog tony in it too.

video #2 Miles From Monterey – my friend and part time tour tech sean fodor sent me some of the video footage he took of us while working with us on the road. this was in dec of 2004 and documents our first ever west coast tour. it’s pretty cool and i’m really glad this piece of history was documented in a sort of bon jovi-esque way. i always wondered what he was doing with that camera.

video #3 Behind The Scenes – taken during our video shoot for “what are you afraid of” – once again, i’m glad sean was there to document it. this was june 2005. almost all of these people are friends of ours although after watching this again i realized i dont know who many of these people are. i also dont know why sean didnt put footage of the elephant in here. the elephant was actually letting people ride on his back.

video #4 At the Fillmore– this is a brief clip from a show in jun 2005 when we opened for fischerspooner. all we have is the end section of “what are you afraid of”. sean fodor took this footage also. thanx buddy. i remember thinking to myself “wow” the fischerspooner fans are really really nice for clapping for us.

video #4 Hollywood Live – this is a brief clip from a show at the detroit bar in costa mesa on 11.17.05. sent in by rob everest. warning! right now this file is massive(112mb)and it will take over 5 minutes to load. open it in a new window and let it load. be patient if you want to see it. i am going to have my web master (sascha – way faster than todd) fix it for me so that it wont take too long to load but for now you have to wait in line like the rest of them.

video #5 Portland Karaoke Live (part 1) & (part 2) – two 30 second clips i took from my camera on 3.01.01 of mariqueen and carter singing what a feeling (flashdance theme) by irene cara at some karaoke bar across from our hotel. words really cant describe how amazing this scene was to watch. the highlight of the video is lewscious doing some sort of crazy pogo dance – there’s also some annoying girl that kept trying to steal q and carter’s moment in the karoake sun. precious footage.
