thejay Posted August 21, 2016 Posted August 21, 2016 Broke format a bit this weekend as I am a part of a duo that is working on an EP. Which to any of you that work with just one other person as a full band format it can be a challenge. Post quite a few 'shootouts' as well with gear - guitars, amps, etc... ANYWAY. Had a lot of fun recording over the week... and even more shooting a the video. A first for us after all these years of writing, recording and gigging. Here it is - a cover of Bananarama's "Cruel Summer". http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3t4gON-9L9E
saturn Posted August 21, 2016 Posted August 21, 2016 That was really entertaining. Great job. Was the "concept" all your guys idea? The camera work was done very well. It didn't have an amateur, home-movie look to it at all.
thejay Posted August 21, 2016 Author Posted August 21, 2016 Thank you! Yes our idea and considering never done this before it turned out really great, we are very pleased. For the most part I was shooting unless I was in the frame. Propped the camera or he shot, my wife shot the "battle" at the end
glp2012 Posted August 21, 2016 Posted August 21, 2016 I liked your video and the way you guys played and sang the song. I'm not a fan of the actual song or Bananarama. It was just on the radio yesterday and I turned it off! I'd like to see more of your bands stuff or a different song.
Rabs Posted August 21, 2016 Posted August 21, 2016 Cool cover... I love that BFG Les Paul... Such a shame they have fat necks or id still own one.....
thejay Posted August 21, 2016 Author Posted August 21, 2016 Thanks all! BFG is a very cool guitar! One of my favorites... we legit picked a song from the list we thought would make a cool cover and that one won, summertime would have been fun too 😃

If you go back and edit your post.. remove the S from Https and it will embed...
thejay Posted August 21, 2016 Author Posted August 21, 2016 Thanks Rabs, did that but did not seem to work?
Rabs Posted August 21, 2016 Posted August 21, 2016 Thanks Rabs, did that but did not seem to work? Did you use the insert media button? Just copy the full web address of the video from the address bar at the top and paste it in your post (and remove the S :)) (as JDGM has done)
thejay Posted August 21, 2016 Author Posted August 21, 2016 Thanks to JDGM and Rabs! Got it! I was using the share address in media not the full that must have been the problem!
ChanMan Posted August 22, 2016 Posted August 22, 2016 I like it better than the Bananarama version! Great job... love the sound you're putting out :)
