This Week In Clockworkland 4

Hello internet types!

Another busy week, another bout of mild exhaustion. That said, as a band we seem to work best when under pressure, so it’s no suprise that we’re going through our most productive period to date right now. This is the very best kind of busy.

After a late night on Sunday, attempts at practicing on Monday evening were futile, so a rather relaxed writing session took place instead. We ate a lot of chocolate biscuits, worked on our arsenal of upcoming new tracks, and put the finishing touches on the two which were debuted at the Sunday Roast. You learn a lot from playing a song live. In retrospect, I think that was one area where our last EP suffered- the tracks were born in the studio rather than on the stage, and only evolved with performance after they were committed to tape. Hence why I’m delighted that this time round we’re getting to road-test everything before we start recording- it should make for a much livelier sounding record.

And That’s A Wrap…

As any of our facebook/twitter friends will know by now, we spent last tuesday night in the Pigeon House in Ringsend freezing our asses off and shooting our new music video.

The shoot went really well, thanks largely to the huge effort put in by Director, Conor Ryan and his fantastic crew. So a big thanks to them, and all the extras who volunteered their time, and those who came along to help out & take photos.

Lots of said photos can now be viewed online via facebook & flickr- they’ll give you a hint of what’s to be expected when the video is ready to hit the internet in about a month’s time. it’ll make a welcome change from the song’s current youtube representation.

Now that we’ve completed our sojourn in front of the cameras, it’s back to writing for Clockwork Noise. With the studio trip for our next single coming up soon, there’s no time for slacking off…

Makin’ Movies

Things have been fairly busy of late in Clockwork-land, and this week we’ve been prepping ourselves for our first video shoot.

The video is being directed by the amazing Conor Ryan, and will be for Egoeccentric- from ‘Yes and No and Everything In Between’. Conor’s got a lot of great things planned for the shoot, and we’re all really excited about getting to work on it, and seeing the finished product.

So over the next few weeks we plan on getting dolled up, recruiting some extras, being laser-scanned into a computer and playing Egoeccentric many, many times. Amongst other things, of course.

We’ll keep you posted with updates of the madness as it happens!
