Red Eyed Fly (Austin, Texas)
Yes I guess its "official". We are now playing with video technology. You will have to pardon us for being late to the party, and if some of our first attempts are pretty basic, but we will get better as we improve our technology and our craft. We will have lots of local Austin bands featured, especially bands performing at SXSW07 showcases, as well as national touring acts. So far we are scheduled to shoot video at the upcoming Mower, Cattle Decapitation and Cannibal Corpse shows and I am sure that we will have lots of other interesting video treats like interviews and maybe even a travel adventure or two depending on who lets me tag along on their tour.
Now, that said, J.Price and the band were kind enough to volunteer to be my first real test subjects with video and hat's off to the Red Eyed Fly (again) for letting me shoot in their venue and plying me with soft drinks. This band has a poppy feel with an alternative rock background. Not quite hard, not quite soft, not quite emo, definitely indie and definitely Austin. With a couple of releases under their belt, they tend to not really fit into any particular genre, and incorporate a lot of different styles to their music. Best of all, I don't really think I can think of anyone that I can compare their music to, specifically, which is great because that means they leave unique footprint in my brainpan. I keep hearing "Star Light Star Bright" over and over in my head today. Definitely a band to check out around Austin if you get the chance and when they hit the road as well. The audio mix in these videos tended to lose a lot of the vocals, and really don't do absolute justice to the band, but check out their web site to listen to some of their studio cuts.
