MTV Iggy premieres CGI video for "Bad Captain
Swag" by Sole and the Skyrider Band

STREAM: The
Challenger EP
MTV Iggy premiered the completely CGI video for Sole and the
Skyrider Band's "Bad Captain Swag" featuring Lil B and Pictureplane
from the band's Hello
Cruel World album released last year. The video was produced by a
team of game industry veterans from theRaleigh, NC area, from such design firms
as Red Storm Entertainment/UbiSoft, Insomniac Games & Virtual Heroes. Their
work wasdone on their own free time - out of love for indie artists - and is
not an officially sponsored product of their respective firms. The video takes
place in a not so distant dystopian future full of robot soldiers and a
totalitarian computer system from which Sole, the band, Pictureplane and a
katana wielding Lil B must free humanity.

South Florida rapper bleubird releases Astronautalis
& Radical Face produced
CANNONBALL!!!
and Blaxsploitation inspired, 8mm shot "Pimp
Hand" video!
This week Fake Four, Inc. released the first official US
release by rapper journeyman bleubird, CANNONBALL!!!, produced
entirely by Astronautalis & Radical Face.
Potholes
In My Blog recently premiered the Blaxsploitation inspired, 8mm shot
video for 'Pimp Hand' - which they said, "If you’re not digging this, you
don’t love music videos." We agree. The video was funded by his devoted
fans and followers via Kickstarter and was made possible by calling in favors
to the rest of the people he knows in his home town of Ft. Lauderdale, FL. The
Miami New Times tagged along for the shoot and wrote a detailed article about
it's inception (and bird, of course). Read
it here.
Watch 'Pimp Hand', directed by Chris Hill here:
Ex-Ex-Expat Florida rapper bleubird returned to the States
after a few years of foreign grind and took to the road. He began crafting an
album with fellow road warrior Andy Bothwell aka Astronautails with the goal of
venturing both of them into some new territory. If Andy is the Tom Waits of hip
hop, bird is the Iggy Pop. In the dead of winter, they locked themselves in
Bothwell's Seattle basement studio and fought through their differences to
create something neither of them could say was uniquely their own. In the end,
the two called upon the help of Jacksonville pop prodigy, Radical Face, to pull
everything together musically and apply his signature gritty shine. By taking a
leap of faith with his friends, CANNONBALL!!! is bleubird's most clear and
cohesive album to date.
