3rd video with danish garage band The Defectors
(in the trilogy: "The Rock´n´roll rise & fall of a band")
Format: 16 mill b/w, colour + DV
The Defectors' record label Bad Afro Records
Story:
Following the climax of Darlin´s extravaganza the band is seen subdued in darkness, their Anglia, "Little Satan" - as an expression of the band´s decline - bursting into flames displaying its characteristic shape against the orange flames of the nostalgic fire...
I had meant this to feel entirely different, more like - a descend into rock´n´roll hell, among other things an Eisensteinian montage of suicide props & a vignette of drug intakes. The band however insisted that we go clean after the Darlin´ ban which is why this video looks `so nice´. As with Darlin´ there has been next to no interest in showing it anywhere...Lovely girl though. I make it a habit to shoot any photogenic girl crossing my way and Yao, who was a working girl in Koh Phangan, volunteered to pose right outside my bungalow...
