Video


Here is a low-fi version of the ‘Movements’ video, made in early 2006. The hi-fi version is available on ‘The Sound of the Wonderful Technique’ CD (to play it, you will probably need to use your computer’s DVD player software). The video was filmed on VHS in March 2006 at The Common Place in Leeds city centre. It was directed by Raymond Kong and put together at Oblong by him and Claire.


Here’s the second video, a last-minute Chickmanchick project (the film collective that Katie, Toby and myself do). This was a very very spontaneous project - the song and video took about two days to complete, and were inspired by the agony of carrying all our gear from my house to Unity Day in July 2007. It was filmed at the Brudenell Social Club and directed by the CMC crew, and edited for a gig on the third day.


This next one is a video of us playing in Offenbach near Frankfurt in September 2005. The venue is Roxi, a very tiny place that used to be a public toilet!


Finally, a video of me and Andrew taking on a Devo song in a karaoke bar in Toyko, with Pete and his mate. Pete is filming us. Andrew and I have drunk most of the complimentary booze by this point. We also performed songs by Bis and we took great pride in turning up all the equipment as loud as it would go (you could easily hear our room at the other end of the corridor).
