The official video for La Vieille Ville by David Woodcock premieres tonight via You Tube from the Blow Up Records You Tube channel. Tune in at 7pm: https://youtu.be/5NhLATuh3JA

The video was filmed and edited by Joe Blamey and Danny Flynn and was shot in the old town itself of Leigh-on-Sea.

La Vielle Ville is a French language new recording of David’s song Old Town, the song which closed David’s second album Normal Life. 

Old Town the final track of David Woodcock’s Normal Life album will be released as a single on Christmas Eve. It will also feature a brand new recording of Old Town, a French version titled La Vieille Ville.

David performs all instruments except double bass which was performed by Paul Ambrose. Oliver Rouff wrote the French interpretation of the Old Town lyric.

As announced today by Prog magazine “Aspic Boulevard release head-trip new video for Kubernetikós” The video for Aspic Boulevard new single Kubernetikós has been revealed. Conceived and entirely made by the band.
The various sculptures that appear in the video (the android’s head, the little robots and the mechanical fishes) were made by Marco, as well as the sets (the chessboard, the lunar landscape, etc.) and the springboxes.
Alessandro, on the other hand, worked on photography and filming, taking care of every technical detail of the video.
The work was developed in an artisanal way, including special effects. Various scenes were made with the stop motion animation technique.

The concept of the video is the relationship between nature and technology, man and machine: a dualism represented through the allegory of a chess game.

It is inspired by the atmospheres of Karel Zeman, Ray Harryhausen, Cristina Làstrego, etc.

There is a full page interview feature and Harlem Hipshake is reviewed in the latest edition of Blues & Soul Magazine, where the record is described that it “will significantly help to bring about the rise of the Afro-Latin funk revolution and we know who will be leading it! A knock out delight!” Read all about it now…
