The "Making of..." our nu video for "Bagtown"!
Seven months ago we had a video shoot with the band for the song "Bagtown". Over the winter, our son Malcolm Smith has been working on the miniature Bagtown set - which is ALMOST complete. Next we'll put it in the hands of animator/director Mike Wellins who will take our green screen selves and actually put us INSIDE the town.
No date for completion yet. The cool part is, BAGTOWN LIVES! Check out the video we made in our studio to get a behind the scenes glimpse into the "Making of..."
Summer Shows!
Here in Oregon we have a phenomenon we call June-uary. After a brief euphoric blast of spring weather, we get another six weeks of rain. The saying goes: "Summer starts July 5th."
But THIS summer is going to be different!
We have it on good authority that the sun will indeed be shining here in the Pacific Northwest for our full Nu Shooz band shows - and we've got a BUNCH of them. Click on through for dates!
