Sincerity Machine is next for videoization (or whatever)

We've decided that all the songs on 'Dealing With Liquids' will eventually have videos made for them. Some will be purely performance driven whilst others, like 'Spring of Teal', will be more.

The next one is going to be 'Sincerity Machine.' The lyrics tell a story, and the story will become a video ... which is often easier said than done, I should bleedin' well cocoa (whatever that means).

So, here's the lowdown. Mick is going to be the aged east end crook. Hahahahahahahaha! ;) for some reason Nick coughs uncontrollably.

Umm, more to follow as the project kicks off. In fact, I'll do my best to keep a detailed blog of the production.

Video for 'A Spring of Teal' finished!

We shot a video, cut it, liked it for a brief moment or two - probably because it was our first effort and we were excited - then decided it was pants. And it was (is, but it won't see the light of day)!

So we shot part of another one which was good - including the amazing sculptural look of massive wind turbines and a trio of me!

But it was only the first half of the video. So we shot the rest of it on the beach and that was good, too. The thing is we are a three piece and I was the only bod in it ... which is not good for a first 'band' video.

So we all went back to the beach on a sunny sunny day and had fun. Now we were cooking! And after a few hours editing said video was complete.

Check it out! A Spring of Teal - video
