Fun Stuff > BAND

My YouTube Channel (and TV Show)

Jimor:
No videos to post just yet, but just got back from shooting some more bands at that same larger club I got some really good clips from before. One outrageous band called The Cosmonauts that I can't wait to share. Cross The Darkness with Comic-con, and you approach an idea of what they're like. A couple other local acts, and then my first attempt at a "national" act, The Cab. I was fearing an auto-tuned boy band, but they were all right, knew how to perform and give a good show, though the songwriting shows a lot of the weaknesses you see in a lot of the new generation of popular acts.

While I could just go ahead and post their clips like all their fans do anyway, I'm going to go through channels with them to see if I can actually impress either them or their management with the quality of my "audience" videos. I'd like to shift this into something I can do for money, so I need to start building a reputation for getting footage a band would be happy to use as promotional material without the complication and expense of bringing in a full video crew to a venue. Anyway, hope to have new stuff soonish!

idontunderstand:
Good stuff, keep it up.

Jimor:
Thank you!  :-)

OK, here's the bands from the other night.

The Cosmonauts with Lights Out / The Ex-Girlfriend Song (with introductions of the characters between songs) and Sega's Making a Comeback. Goofy goofy fun.  :-D

Taking's Not Stealing with Officially Unofficial and One for the Books. Local band that was picked to play at The Warped Tour when it came to town last week. The reaction to my videos in this case was most satisfying. I quote: "WOW!!!!!! Thanks So much Jim! We've NEVER had any sort of live videos as well done and professional as these!:D"

And finally, The Cab. Risky Business and Bad. I sent an e-mail to them and got a non-committal reply that they'd take a look. It's probably some assistant at their label rather than them reading that account, but that suits my purposes just as well.

Jimor:
Not a full update, but I had to share this one hot off the press. Sister Crayon started off as the solo moniker for Terra Lopez back when it was just her, an acoustic guitar, and a loop pedal. She's evolved that into a full band and has always taken her music to wherever it wants to go without regard to genre. Here's I'm Still the Same Person.

There is so much goodness from this show, more Exquisite Corps, and a neat trio Two Sheds.

Jimor:
Before I return you to the regularly scheduled channel, I first bring you a special Beyonce Baby edition of this thread.

Annie Bethancourt covering Single Ladies (Put a Ring On It). She skips the bridge for reasons given succinctly during the song.  :-P

And now to finish off that show I was talking about in the previous post...

Sister Crayon with Other. Terra Lopez just goes someplace else when she's performing. I'm glad I get to peek inside this other world, but I'm not sure I'd want to live there.

Two Sheds with Tragedy and To Be Alive. The singer Caitlin reminds me a bit of Margot Timmins of Cowboy Junkies. She has a wickedly sardonic sense of humor in her stage banter, but unfortunately when I tried to include some of it, ripping it out of the larger context just made her sound mean, so I left it out.

As promised, more Exquisite Corps. This time with a Lou Reed cover Street Hassle, and an original Touched By The Fire.

And at last Thursday's park concert, I had to leave early, so I only recorded 3 songs, but here are 2 of them from Gillian Underwood. Blue Lady and Silver Gun. There's a quiet joy to her on stage that really seems to shine through. Hard to describe, but other friends have commented about the same thing, so I know it's just not me.
