WHY GHOST KIDS RULE (and why I am doomed to wear white leather pants in hell)

Last night, Saturday the 2nd of June, we filmed most of what is going to become our next music video for the song "Un-hypnotized". It was an epic night of amazing creativity that brought together a proper crew of thinkers, dancers, dreamers, lovers, super-stars and lovely human beings of all kinds.

The best thing about it was that it just developed and wasn't planned in any way. When we made the decision to have an audience play quite an important part in this shoot, we just agreed to bring 3 or 4 people each and see how it all works out. I don't want to give too much away here, but what happened next was really amazing.

You can probably tell just by looking at the pics. Quite a congregation we had there. Great fun to be around and extremely multifacetet. In fact if our director, the visionary Arian Soheili, hadn't worked everyone quite so hard, we could probably have made some head-way towards negotiating world peace during the after-party. As it were, we were all just a little exhausted but very happy with the results, so stuck to drinking and ranting at each other.

One of my friends didn't have white pants to go with the all-white theme, so, with the help of another friend we got him a pair before the shoot. When I jokingly complained about what on earth I would do with this kind of leg-wear after the night, someone pointed out that 'at least they're not leather". To which I replied

"In hell, they would be. They would be white leather pants".

Well, we all know you don't tease the devil, so I guess that's what I'll be wearing..in hell..now that I've said it.

A million thanks to all of you who came and helped us make something really special.

And stay tuned everyone. This will be out very soon, along with the UG album. Hope you'll dig the results.
