Buy “Looking For Bruce” online at www.churchkeyrecords.com Directed by Patrick Taylor of D Dot Films. Guitarist Joe Hall on making the video: On our spring tour, we had one day off in DC (March 17). We were staying with our friends in the band Caverns and Pat, the piano player, who runs his own film company (D dot Films), suggested we use the day off to shoot a music video. He spent the night before brewing up ideas and got us up bright and early in the morning to make it happen. We woke up that morning unaware of the song we were doing or what the concept of the video would be. “Fall Down, Play Dead” is basically about homeless people in the skid row district of LA and their daily struggles. The video obviously has nothing to do with that. Pat chose to run with the theme of our album title ‘Looking For Bruce’ and came up a concept that revolves around Bruce. Bruce has stolen our CR-V with all of our gear and we go out looking for him, putting up posters and playing our song in a DC park (?!) The posters we put up in the video have scenes from Dan Nitro Clark’s film “Looking for Bruce,” implying that Bruce is actually Nitro.
Video Rating: 4 / 5
