The Down and Outs for Video Numero Cinque
As Colleen charged it's way onto YouTube last week (many thanks to all who watched, rated and favourited it - your consideration was appreciated and helped 'Colleen' become the UKs' Number 1 Top Rated Music Video!) Johnny and Chris ventured to Ibrox where they shot video number 5 with a local band.
The band in question are The Down and Outs.
Described as "A mix between 60s beat groups (Kinks, Beatles), The Smiths and The Buzzcocks.", The Down and Outs are tipped for big things in 2008 and are regularly played on XFM Scotland (where previous video band Drive-By Argument are also firm favourites).
The Down and Outs (from l-r) are Fisher, Jack, Clark and Miggy
Johnny is currently editing the video for 'Easy Come, Easy Go' with an aim to start principle animation on the project for Tuesday. The animation process itself is expected to take a good while to render, with every single frame of the video needing to be digitally altered to achieve the desired effect.
'Easy Come, Easy Go' is currently available as a limited edition 7" vinyl for £2.99 at the band's official myspace page where you can also get a free listen to a few other tracks. You can find all this and more at: www.myspace.com/thedownouts
If you'd like to catch them live they are playing the following dates and venues this month:
21 Dec 2007 Barrowlands,Glasgow
22 Dec 2007 The Doghouse,Dundee
28 Dec 2007 Barfly w/ Underground Heroes, Glasgow
31 Dec 2007 Box New Year Bash w/ Apple Scruffs & Ramblers, Glasgow

Video Numero Quattro Release!
On December 1st the brand new video from New Retro hits YouTube.
The track to the video is 'Colleen' by 'The Heavy'. The 4th video by Johnny Herbin stars Ruth Callander and Craig Hunter. Previous video stars Scott Denny and Chris Carter also feature in smaller roles.
"Colleen" was made as an entry to the Radar Festival 2007 but unfortunately did not qualify for the finals.
Although dissapointed with "Colleen"'s performance with the judges at Radar, we are hoping that it will find a receptive audience online where our other videos have been so readily embraced.
In other news Johnny will be shooting "Video Numero Cinque" this Wednesday with a local Glasgow band. The plans are for something entirely different to videos 1-4 both visually and structurally. Along with the band's input the result will hopefully be something very special.
So to catch our latest 'festering turd' of a video make sure you check back here on December 1st for a link to the Youtube page.
Exclusive photos and accounts from behind the scenes coming soon!
