8 is one of numerology’s favorite numbers for its reference to infinity… And here, 8 is the number of lucky Vintage Trouble fans that also represent the infinity of fans who would have given anything to get the amazing surprise the soul rockers had in store for them. Do you follow me? YES, 8 Vintage Trouble enthusiasts were chosen to discover in exclusivity the new Vintage Trouble music video directed and filmed by the award-winning director K.A.R. Schofield.
Eager to use new technologies to develop a unique relationship with their fans, Vintage Trouble chose an unconventional approach to release their video “Not Alright By Me” from their debut album The Bomb Shelter Sessions. The band premiered the clip through Google Hangout, which they considered the perfect way for bands and their communities to get to know each other better.
“Not Alright By Me” was impressively filmed in one shot in Elysian Park in Los Angeles, where the band can be seen performing with their hometown skyline as a backdrop, creating a simple and striking image to add to the song’s impact. We know it’s not as good as being one of the 8 special fans that got to see it first, but viewing it for the first time is pretty cool too… Here’s for you!
In preparation of their U.S. release The Bomb Shelter Sessions on April 24, rhythm and blues mavericks Vintage Trouble are hitting the road as special guests of The Cranberries for a series of dates spanning the East Coast and Midwest commencing May 2 and ending May 17.
