that's in Glasgow right? I've never even heard of it.

ok i gave in... this album is good

i knew you would come around.

spare a prayer for this poster, who was meant to go to see them tonight but is stuck in bed with sickness. i wish i could have given the ticket to someone, nevermind. I hope to be in a better state for their gig tomorrow or next week.

that sucks bad. yeah hopefully you are better for one of their gigs in the next week.

Thank you. I'm not going to miss them again. :(

love this video: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=ZSxKIJp0WAY

tell us how it was. i may go see them when they play here, but i have until february to think about it.

considering i'm quite the sucker for this sort of girl bands, i'm going to like them way more than girls aloud for sure.

Yeah. I'd never heard of it either.

Well, I saw them last night at the Windmill in Brixton, and they were fucking great. Loud, fast, those dual harmonies and that buzzsaw pop sound which gets me every time. Has the sound of love and loss ever been so infectious? No. So those who can, get thee to seeing them in the UK.

Having been unwell last night and unable to get to The Windmill, I've bought a ticket for Madame Jo Jo's instead. Hopefully I'll be fit and well by then.

i'm thinking about tripping it up to london on the 12th

no.

they are very cute

anyone got their lyrics?

i saw 'em a few weeks ago. good energy, but nothing too memorable, really.

neat-o! i think she upgraded from a squire to a full-fledged fender!

I don't find them particularly "hot" unlike some people, but they look memorable.

their looks are really memorable, yes.

could be. that shot was pretty recent (opening for Deerhunter and TNV last month).

Yeah, I think they did that right after I saw them. I saw them on 9/29 and she still had the 51 but the pics from October gigs have been mostly fender.

Excellent. Yeah, I am definitely going to Madame JoJo's, this time wether I am feeling sick or not. I will bell you about it.

Multiple cameras are usually setup around the area of interest and synchronized to shoot at the same time. This was done in The Matrix using some Chroma keying (what's typically referred to as Green Screening or blue screening) although an earlier use of it was done with a horse wayback when with black and white photography in an attempt to proove that there is a moment when all four of the horse's hooves are off the ground at one point in time.

Around the time of The Matrix's release this was also used in a car commercial along with some chroma keying again where a kid tossed a cheese puff/ball into the air whil this guy commented on the interior. So in answer to your question they used the time track photography/videography to record things from multiple angles. But they also used some Chroma Keying (green screen) so they could composite someone moving in realtime.

The green is usually omitted in favor of whatever is in the other videostream essentially since they aren't necessairly there they have to mime or pretend they are. But even then time track photography/videography has to be used so that they are convincgly portrayed as being there. So then the question becomes how come you don't see the cameras? The answer they most likely paint or block them out with the same color so that they too are omitted in favor of the stream that actually has a background.

Also for this to really work you need a green room not just a green screen. One screen alone won't work so well with time track photography/videography is this is what you intend to do. A whole room of green/blue is

er....okay.

she's cute, but there's something about the bass player that gets me.

the one on the right, is the best. which one is that?

^ well the guitarist is definitely not the one in the middle. she is no longer in the band i think, good riddance.

yeah she is. she's the drummer.

their old drummer quit and joined the crystal stilts. that's the only memeber that is no longer in the band.

the guitarist. The plaid shirt, blonde hair, and laconic demeanour get me every time. Christ, I can imagine driving straight home after their show, holing myself up in my bedroom and punching holes in the wall whilst sobbing.

and jerking off with the other hand.

So excited about next Tuesday!

I was going to write something about the whole hipster thing, which hat and beard made a brilliant comment about on another thread, but I'm too hyper from, you know, feeling hip and Burroughs.

Totally.

I've only heard two of their songs, but to me they sound like a cross between Shonen Knife (mind you I've only heard one of their songs as well) and the Shangri-Las...meh.

give me that over guns n roses any day. you just mentioned two of my favourite bands.

We fucking drove thru to Glasgow only to discover the fucking show was sold out.

<3 Where do you run to

Aw sorry to hear that. I was hoping that the gig at Madame JoJo's wasn't going to be sold out too, which luckily it wasn't when I got another ticket.

both those bands are great.

Rough Trade East In-store - VIVIAN GIRLS - Tuesday 9th December, 7.00pm
http://www.roughtrade.com/site/news_...83D6kpu423F51C
FREE WRISTBAND COLLECTION 1 HOUR PRIOR TO GIG, FIRST-COME-FIRST-SERVED BASIS- ONE PER PERSON.

The Vivian Girls debut self titled album is in Rough Trades top 10 of the year, don't miss the chance to see them perform live.

The Vivian Girls drop sweet girl-group melodies into proto-shoegaze squalls the way the Jesus & Mary Chain used to and the way groups like the Aislers Set, C86s-ers the Shop Assistants, and the Manhattan Love Suicides have done with female vocalists. They keep the Shangri-Las' melodrama to boot. With echoes of Vaselines in their sound, too, Vivian Girls may just have released the best album of its type in 2008 - this eponymous debut drips with a confidence beyond the band's years, and fits no particular fashion of today.
