VJing for Black Kids and the Virgins

Both Black Kids and the Virgins have songs out now that grab me everytime I hear them. So I was psyched when I heard both bands would play a club I've worked at. I asked if they wanted a VJ. They did. WEQX 102.7 put the show on and put it on air too. Too bad visuals don't play on the radio.


I was particulary proud that I recreated visual themes I found in both bands' videos. A pink eye and keyhole symbol from the Virgins' "Private Affair" (but then they didn't perform that song) and spirals, stars, a castle and stripes from Black Kids "I'm not gonna teach your borfriend how to dance with you", plus a 1,2,3,4 countdown. I also had ready to go custom 3D pyramid imagery but they didn't play that song. Anyway great show.

Members of the Virgins were standing next to my booth, unaware I was the one doing the visuals. I heard them ooo and ah. They were impressed that I had dug up almost every video that exists online of them, including their recent Letterman performance. (Thanks Willobee for that one.) One comment "It looks just like our stuff, but they made their own stuff to match it." "They did a lot of work for this." was another. Eventually I came clean and told them it was me. I could only eavesdrop for so long.

Bits of video go up soon on my mySpace.
