Barons of Tang - Villain (Stage Left)

This music video uses the ghostly aesthetic of old silent film, to tell a tale of lust and violence, moustaches and smouldering looks, expressed in the tradition of the Apache Dance from the speakeasies of Paris  in the 1920s.

Process

Shooting with the new Canon 7d DSLR, we filmed the clip in one long action packed night at the beautiful Red Bennies venue on Chapel St in South Yarra, Melbourne .

Screenings
The clip was  launched in September 2010 at the Stucco Cooperative in Sydney,  in conjunction with the BoHo Ball's tour of debauchery and merriment. The night was a huge success, supported by many other amazing acts from the vaudeville underground and topped by a typically riotous performance by the Barons themselves.
