This weekend Kyle Ecks and myself spent the day at R.O.A.R (above Gandalfs) helping out on the set of the new A B Turbo music video for ‘Carry Me Away’, set to be released by early next year.
Despite any discomfort felt at being in the nastiest corner of Observatory and seeing the place (and Antonio) in full daylight, the day was successful. Most of the band performance footage had been shot the day before, so there were just some crowd scenes and scenes with the leading lady to be done. The costumes render us unrecognizable, but if you ask we will gladly point out which of the shadowy figures we are (but you’ll have to wait and see).
Needless to say, I don’t want to reveal too much about the content of the video, but I can say this: The band hopes to have the song, ‘Carry Me Away’, mastered and the post-production on the video done before mid December, in which case you might see it on MK by Christmas. If not, we can expect to see it gracing the airwaves by some time around RAMFest next year.
A B Turbo is a punk rock revival band from the Mother City with a taste for circle pits and on-stage demolition acts.
The line up consists of Matthew James (vocals), Devon Martindale (guitar, backing vocals), Peter Walton (guitar), Brett Allen-White (bass guitar, backing vocals), and Sean Devey (drums), all of whom have been performing in bands together since their high school years.
You can see some shots of A B Turbo in action here during their latest gig at the Purple Turtle, but what we say you should do is listen to some of their music at their facebook page, myspace page , or ideally from the A B Turbo LoadTheShow page, where the bands get paid if you download for free (AMAZING, right?).
Stay tuned for when the video comes out – we’ll be posting it here!
