    TIMBRRR! Winter Music Festival year two was even better than year one (which set the bar high.) Friday night popped with a variety of fresh sounds from new wave to hip hop while Saturday night finished with a solid bang with the two-punch of Hobosexual followed by headliner headbangers Red Fang. Leavenworth was lovely, as always, and the waather gave us snow when and where we wanted it and left the roads clear. Thank you Kevin, Phil and Chad at Artist Home!

  • music film // The Moondoggies : “Roll Away”

    We were on hand at Everett, Wash.’s Skate Deck for the roller skate release party of The Moondoggies‘ latest album Adios, I’m A Ghost.

    Put us in a roller skating rink with cameras and we’re going to dive in quads first.  The Moondoggies asked us to use the footage to put together a music film for their b-side Roll Away and we were happy to oblige.

  • event film // First Night Tacoma

    First Night is always one of our favorite nights in Tacoma—downtown Tacoma is alive and kicking all night with amazing music, surprises around every corner, and a palpable, carnivalesque atmosphere. Here’s a little film we put together, putting the evening into a visual nutshell.

    What a way to celebrate…Happy New Year!

  • music film // V. CONTRERAS : “Gasoline”

    We’re pleased to share our latest music film—”Gasoline” from Seattle independent artist V. Contreras‘ eponymous debut album.

    Working with time-lapse footage, projections, a unique setting (the—possibly haunted—cavernous basement of Seattle’s legendary Moore Theater) and fractured editing, we created a music film that we think captures the “crazy” simmering within the song.

    Original poster art for another fantastic music festival—music, snow, and more music in the Bavarian-rich Leavenworth, Wash.  There’s some heavy hitters on this bill and all in a really unique setting.

    We had such an amazing time at TIMBER! Outdoor Music Festival this year—including, but not limited to: (1) sitting front-and-center through J Mascis‘ mind-altering set, (2) watching Damien Jurado‘s gorgeous set from our tent, (3) the Milky Way overhead, (4) swimming in the river with good friends, (5) feeling a world away in Tolt-MacDonald Park, and (6) spending the weekend with some of our favorite people and artists. Thank you Kevin, Phil and Chad at Artist Home! Photos are below and films are to come…!

    “I have this idea for a music film that involves kids riding around on bikes,” said Rockwell Powers. “I’m in!” said Peter. True story.

  • music film // Bombay Beach teaser

    We are collaborating with one of Portland’s most interesting music projects—Bombay Beach.  A trio composed of three thoughtful artists with wild abandon and serious chops. At one moment, their music will pummel you with noise and howl and the next moment it will blow you away on a digital breeze.   (more…)

  • epicurean film // Gun Bun x BUNK

    We took a day trip down to Portland, Oregon to catch up with Huichica Music Festival co-founder and Fruitbats frontman Eric D. Johnson and Portland’s famous BUNK Sandwiches chef Tommy Habetz.  The two talked endlessly about their mutual love for sandwiches and rock and roll—we managed to capture a few tidbits along with details on Tommy’s sandwich pairing with Gundlach Bundschu’s Mountain Cuvée wine at this year’s upcoming Huichica Music Festival.
