Billy Mahonie Kaiju Rehearsal Bootleg Video

We invited friends North Edge films to come and quickly shoot a vid for new single. And here it is.

This one came from a chord progression Gav first tried out jamming with Howard (and David Thomas Broughton) in 2010. Needless to say when Hywell and Kev got their hands on it it became something no-one ever envisaged. Kev''s great title is of course the Japanese name for the subgenre of monster based science fiction. A frenetic riff opens the song and for a counter guitar part only two options remain, play in the minimal gaps or find an overarching theme.

We chose both. Kaiju films influence the additional Synths, echoes of those early Japanese movie themes. Some people we have played this to in advance, have suggested this track is one we should lead with, as it is kind of where we left off. We agree. It rocks pretty hard. And is a bit funky too. What?s not to like?
