Band states all videos moving forward will be interpretive dance routines
based on their snappy guitar parts and haunting melodies...
Los Angeles,
CA May 2005: Taking Back Sunday recently decided that they no longer wish to
perform in any music videos. "They take a REALLY long time to film and it's
usually pretty boring unless there's a hot make-up girl to flirt with," states
bassist Matt Rubano. They have decided to use their off time on tour dates
around the globe to seek out the best Interpretive Dance Troupes they can find
to get the message of the music across in a new and exciting
way.
"Everyone knows I'm way more into dance than playing guitar anyway,"
states guitarist/dancer Eddie Reyes. He adds, "A lot of the moves from this
first video for Set Phasers To Stun were from my arsenal. My famed spin
isn't even in there because this troupe of 'so called' Hungarian dancers
couldn't master it properly." The video he is referring to is for the first
track off of their gold selling album WHERE YOU WANT TO BE which includes a
performance by the Troup De Pozolo De Zav, of the Hungary Zavs.
Vocalist
Adam Lazzara was ecstatic about the decision to ditch the old medium. "The
make-up we always had to wear to look 'video worthy' was having an adverse
reaction with my hair product. We had to choose between the videos or the hair
so the videos had to go."
Taking Back Sunday is looking forward to
auditioning new dancers in the coming months as they continue to write new
material. "We have a few auditions set up in Las Vegas this week when we roll
through with the Dancing Betty Showgirl Retirement Home. We should definitely be
able to find some new prospects there," adds drummer Mark O'Connell. "I'll be
celebrating my birthday there as well, so they have a few surprises lined up for
me if you know what I mean."
The band is positive video music channels
will embrace the new direction. "We've always set the trends rather than
followed them," mentions guitarist Fred Mascherino. "The trick is going to be to
think of the NEXT thing, because in about six month the only videos on the air
will be interpretive dance videos so we'll be busy planning our next move."
Now I like TBS, but that made me chuckle.
I'm dying my hair tonight. My natural blonde just doesn't work well with my natural dark brown eyebrows, so I'm dying my hair dark brown. Hopefully it'll be cute. Once I get my camera back from Aliison, I'll take pictures.
I went on a date last night with Bryan...oh man was it adorable! Dinner, movie, and ice cream, all in one date! It was adorable, very very gentlemanly and sweet. I still can't believe how generously cute and charming the night was. And I think there might be a second date this weekend...oh man, I think I might be a bit smitten, but i'm not sure yet. It was really nice to have a guy pick me up instead of having his mom pick me up and having a guy actually pay for the date instead of me paying for it. But its not all about the money and car, he's a sweet guy.
I'm scared to death to talk to Austin though. He's not going to be happy. Thadd broke the bad news today and he was P-I-S-S-E-D. Fuck.
iTunes' free download this week is a Gorillaz album sampler...neato.
