Hi kids,
From now I’ll be posting all the clips I make on this blog. I’ll start with the one I made for an amazing Lifetime & Jawbreaker influenced band from Kingston, Pennsylvania called TITLE FIGHT.
At the Lintfabriek, a small venue near Antwerp-city, they played a sort of surprise show in the summer. I was present & I’m glad I was. The room was filled with teenage anxiety, on stage and in the crowd, it was everywhere. I witnessed the true energy of live independent music.
After the show I asked my friends Hans & Wim, aka Sike & Stief Positief, the occasional drivers of the band, if I could join them with my camera while they were playing two festivals in Belgium, Rock Herk and Pukkelpop. I wanted to make a videoclip for a song called COXTON YARD, with live footage and images I shot during their stay at the festivals.
After Rock Herk, which was amazing, the band asked me if I would like to join them at Pukkelpop. They fixed me an all-areas pass. I was happy as fuck. To be completly honest I was also really siked about seeing Dave Grohl and The Foo Fighters, because they were playing on the same day of the festival. So I wanted to get Dave Grohl on camera. I thought it would be interesting to get Dave Grohl, who used to be this young punk kid raising from the underground scene to a much bigger audience, next to Title Fight, a band in some ways living the same story. So that the day I had put on my SCREAM-shirt, just to attracted Grohl’s attention and left Antwerp filled with teenage anxiety. I spent an amazing day until somewhere around 6 PM. The storm got its raise and we had to count its casualties in the nightmare it evoked. I stopped filming, unlike Leto’s crew covering the whole picture like posh joks with their fancy 5D’s. I was in shock. People were missing, cellphones weren’t working, chaos took over and Pukkelpop looked like a warzone. I’m glad none of my friends got hurt, and I feel sorry for those who are demanding their money back. I know it’s easy to say for someone who got in for free, but still, Go Fuck Yourself.
Enjoy the clip!
Jerry.
