Salt, Peppa and Spinderella

Following on from my two posts about city dweller 'Robbie' and his unique videos of Boston and New York, I was immediately reminded of Birmingham-based band Johnny Foreigner and the video for their recent single, 'Salt, Peppa and Spinderella'. As one of my favourite new bands (MySpace linked above - check them out) it's great to see them finally gaining the recognition they deserve - even if this video was removed from MTV and other channels due to worries over epilepsy. The video itself looks to have been shot in much the same as the two I previously mentioned, through the shooting of thousands of photographs which are then played through rapidly in order to achieve a stuttering but ultimately engaging visual effect. As for the song - it's a summer anthem! Makes me think of going out in the city and having a laugh, sleeping on random peoples' floors after house parties and generally enjoying life.
