I have decided to set up an official twitter account for the band 'Rickie & the Islanders'. I feel that by doing this, fans will be able to follow new band activity and tour dates etc. The twitter page is featured below: http://twitter.com/#!/ISLAND_OFFICIAL
I have become very inspired by David Bailey's studio photography from the sixties and seventies. I feel that this imagery would work very well in a music video, having irrelevant, slow motion shots of male and female characters, possibly mid-shot shots as an initial idea that comes to mind.
After sifting through many different song choices, each providing different creative pathways and areas of imagery I could explore in a video, I have chosen to use the song 'End of the Night' by The Smith Westerns. I feel that the 60's retro influence that the band persues through their music would fit in well with the ideas I have for the music video.
We had fun We didn't know what time it was Close your eyes, oh girl Then I'll stay close
Don't know why Sun's up in the sky Close your eyes, oh girl Then I'll stay close
Everybody wants to be a star on a saturday night Come with me baby and your eyes shine the sunlight
Ooh, it's the end of the night, it's the end of the night Are you gonna go home? Ooh, it's the end of the night, it's the end of the night Are you gonna go home?
Fell asleep And now words are too cheap Close your eyes, oh girl Then I'll stay close
Don't you care? You feel the sunlight warm your hair Close your eyes, oh girl Then I'll stay close
Everybody wants to be a star on the saturday night Come with me baby and your eyes shine the sunlight
Ooh, it's the end of the night, it's the end of the night Are you gonna go home? Ooh, it's the end of the night, it's the end of the night Are you gonna go home?
