So, I decided to shoot a music video for Dirtygrrrls/Dirtybois …

It’s still one of the most popular tracks I have and that’s why we will be shooting on July 4 & 5, 2009 in Hamburg/Germany. Once again my partner-in-crime, the eccentric Jean-Jaques Ribbeaux will be director of photography and we are hoping to raise the bar once more and produce something that outdoes the TZDV video.

That means: we are looking for girls & boys, ladies & gentlemen, hotties & freaks to join us on July 4 or 5, 2009 (depending on what role you will have) here in Hamburg.

If you want to be in the video because you look sexy/cool/hot/weird/freaky, can dance really well or can do anything else that’s extraordinary and spectacular, please send an email to casting@faderhead.com and make sure to include:

1) your full name
2) your age
3) where you live
4) 2-3 photos (portrait and full body please!) or a link to a YouTube video that shows you
5) any special skill you may have (“contortionist”, “can fly”, “can set myself on fire”)

We can probably find all the people we need in Hamburg, so please understand that we will NOT be paying you and we will not pay for your travel costs or (if you want to stay for one or more nights) for your accomodation/hotel if you are coming from outside of Hamburg.

Saturday, July 4, will be mainly used for the “vibe” and “story” scenes while Sunday, July 5, will be mainly used for performance/dance/crowd-scenes, so if you are a hot model/actress/weirdo, then we’ll most likely need you on Saturday and if you are a dancer, you can pre-plan that you will be needed on Sunday.

Jean-Jacques and I have some cool ideas and found a great location right in the middle of Hamburg – so this video should look pretty damn cool once it is done (hopefully by mid/end July).

So, if you wanna be there send me love and emails to: casting@faderhead.com

Hope to see you at the shoot!

I just spent the whole day coding and uploading the lyrics section for Faderhead.com and let me tell you – CSS is shitting me! I mean, granted, I am probably the dumbest mofo on earth when it comes to coding anything, but this should not have taken 6 hours … I think I really should get back to what I know best: making music.

Speaking of which: I haven’t been in the studio in weeks and I am still not feeling creative. Which is fine. After every album release I get pissed off with electronic music and make all kinds of different music for a few months – and then I have to take a break. So I am chillin’ out mainly, getting to know my new Canon EOS 5D Mark II cam and working on my video editing skills. Now that spring has reached Hamburg, I’ll be working on my BBQing skills too

Good things are coming up though: new shows have been announced for this summer, I am planning an EP release for October and the new album for early 2010. I have a nice little concept for that record and I hope you guys will dig it! At least I am excited about it!

Next up: make a new shirt design for a men’s shirt! Anyone got any ideas? Let me know!

Just found these really nice live-videos, shot with a small digital-camera at the gig in Aarau/Switzerland. They are probably my favorites of all the audience videos that I get sent, so make sure to check them out. I love the gritty, underground-club, front-row vibe!

Many thanks to Poupée Mécanique for recording those!!

Sitting at the breakfast table, getting ready to head out to Fetish Evolution 2009 in Essen/Germany to shoot a few cut-in scenes for an upcoming Faderhead video. Lots of tasty girls there, yes, yes!

Wish me luck!

… and still not slowing down!

I just uploaded a video from our gig at Matrix in Bochum last Friday, so if you couldn’t be there: check out all the shenanigans that went down before, during and after the show!

The whole trip to Bochum was great, so many thanks must go out to the Matrix crew aka: DJ Mike, Lightmaster Benjamin, Soundguy Jens, the Merchmaster (and -mistress!), Sam and Sandra. Even bigger thanks to everyone who came out to party with us. The Bochum crowd rocks!

We will be back for sure!!
