We emailed the band an interview because it was not convenient to interview the band face to face seeing as they all have full time work. We sent them four questions, then from the answers got an idea of what they were about and how to conduct our music video tot heir ideals.
Q:How would you classify the music you perform?
A: Our music is a mcture of jazz, funk and house style music. Our songs vary so much from track to track so it's hard to categorise our music speicifically. We our influenced by whatever we our listening to at the time of writing our songs.
Q:Who are your influences?
A: We have so many influences, a mixture of everyone from every different genre of music. We seek influence from bands such as Crazy P, The Doors, The Bealtes, Mr Scruff, the talking heads, Echo and the bunnymen, Bob Dylan, the editors and so many more people. It's a huge mixture and we like dfferent aspects of each style of music.
Q: Are their any current music videos which you like and would like your video to be like?
A: We really like the Jamie T video sticks and stones because of the fun feel it's got to it. We love seeingbands live so i suppose a more performance lead rather than narrative lead video would be good.
Q:If you could compare yourself to any artist how would it be and why?
A: It would be so hard to say. Mainly Crazy P i guess because the style of music is similar to ours and their sense of performance we see on stage is very similar to ours.
From this questionnaire i was able to decide certain aspects of the video. I decided i would make the video performance lead, with no realy narrative, the band seem to like more of a post-modern style of music so i want a video to match. I want influencers from their favourite artists so will use certain props to contribute, recently after seeing Crazy P i saw the the lead artist wearing a silver glove, like one of the band members own so i will ensure their wearing it in the video to signify their influences.
