Ming City Rockers - "Chic and the Motherfuckers"
Shit hot garage rock by natives of Immingham....... Massive Chuck Berry Ramones motorway pileup
Since u gave me a drubbing Kev....... Here's an up coming crew, well worth spending 30 minutes rummaging through their u2b dope Stole the show when I last sew them live. Got some stunning footage!
Someone on the ville should consider a hookup
Noticed there's a split screen effect on uploaded clip unless I change my settings from HTML5 to Flash?
P. good performance video, cool
Reflecting on it I shoulda stuck up Twist It A more cynical Hipster video you could not find... I got two other bands that I see 'n work with live and rate. I jus' got to sort out some decent clips of theirs to post!
Well gotta say I like the first vid you posted more than the 'cynical hipster' one.
But your comment brings to mind something I've wondered ever since I started a music video program and website.. Are the important bands the ones who shun videos? Just do live videos and wank a video out for one of us? There are bands who avoid videos, and the video crowd, and heck, are they right? Should we shun video in favor of music, free (supposedly) of image?
And if you think you're not hipster material too, my friend..
Answering the question, I think it's fair to say that the video system is not made for every musical act. And it shouldn't be. Wilco does fine avoiding videos, but some bands love the opportunity to make one, like Ok Go. Etc etc blah
OK I get u! Some bands have little stage presence live Its all well 'n good to be an accomplished musician. No good though to stand there like a tame lemon! Really fucks me up They don't even have facial expressions It's hard to get any mileage outta it But then I guess my concerns don't matter a lot to the audience, who just mark time knocking back a few beers till the main band's set!
I don't have a beard wear checked shirts or skinnys I can't see me self as being as ridiculously photogenic as the homeless guy, who has been apparently claimed for hipsterdom!
I remember that picture. Geez. Guy needs some empathy from the rest of us. And probably a few dollars, some housing, and food. ..and free education, a leg up, etc.
Totally agree mate.... I spent a year of my early youth living on the streets till my late brother (he was well wild...psychopathic, died from pneumonia associated with heroin abuse) got one of his mates to allow me to couch surf at his place as a step to socially reintegrating myself!
I'm glad you're reintegrated, and sorry for your loss. And sorry to hear that.
It was many years ago bro.... The tragedy of my brother is only one of many people whom I have known, who's life was cut short by what is popularly known today as self med
meanwhile : )
