I’m enjoying this, although one of the lead characters, Rose Larkin played by Luciane Buchanan, reminds me a lot of AOC which I find distracting. 
Not the best acting in this, but it’s rather binge worthy.

I’m no musician, but they sounded great and the video was crystal clear to me.

Thank you and glad you liked it! It was grueling. 18 takes and five hours to get good takes of the two songs. Took two weeks of spare time to mix and cut the project. Just me having fun, lol.

Walt, if you wouldn’t mind, tell us a bit more… You know these guys? And made a video of them playing?

Now you did it! I’m an old fart and can babble. Ask and you shall receive!
The band is just over 25 years old now. Two founding members remain, drummer/singer and guitar. I played bass for them for 7 or 8 years, can’t remember exactly. Just got too old for the riggers of doing shows. It became more work than fun. I bowed out two years ago. The band had a couple of years of down time per covid and vicissitudes . Now with the new bassist having some time to rehearse they wanted to start doing promo stuff and I like doing videos. They use a Presonus 32 channel mixer that will record separate tracks directly to HDD. I used six cameras for the shoot. Four BlackMagic Design cameras on legs, one Canon C200 handheld and a GoPro above the drummer. There was a second GoPro behind the keyboard player but being an GoPro 7 it was acting real buggy and did not record during the good takes. Mixed the audio channels in Steinberg Cubase and mastered in Steinberg Wavelab. They wanted a true representation of what they sound like so no editing was done to timing, tuning or mistakes. The keyboard player came over and did the mastering session with me for a second set of ears. All video angles and the audio recording were done with Tentacle time code generators to keep everything in sync. Everything was filmed in 4K raw except the GoPro footage which is H.264. Cutting and color grading was done in Davinci Resolve Studio. The keyboard player also took part in the color grading. He’s a very seasoned photographer and has a great eye. We are planning to do more but only one song per session. My opinion is that they are a very good band for one that only rehearses once per week. It is primarily done for the enjoyment of playing rather than the pursuit of shows although they do like to do a show a month or thereabouts. Even with the long day of recording, it was still a lot of fun for me. It’s also good practice with the cameras. I learn with every project.

Excellent, I would describe as melodic rock, can hear a touch of FM and Magnum crossed with a bit of Moist (A Canadian rock band). How do their gigs go down with having the drummer on vocals so no real front man strutting their stuff?

That has always been a limiting aspect of the band. They are (we were) about as exciting to watch as paint drying. As you noted there is no front man. The guitarist has some serious back problems and does not move much while playing. It’s not about notoriety or money for these guys. One is a business owner, one a retired professor (nuclear physics), another an IT specialist. This is like playing poker with the guys once a week and a short road trip once a month. Hit a good restaurant, have a little party with the audience. I left professional performing in my mid twenties as I did not want to raise a family like that. I loved playing and hated the business.

When I was a kid my ultimate dream was to be in a rock band, as a kid I was brought up going to the Salvation Army so learnt how to read music and played the Tenor Horn but that didn’t really rock! I did buy a fender copy and amp but I just couldn’t seem to do chord changes without visually watching were I placed my fingers, I could play ok apart from a pause between each chord lol, but I do play a mean air guitar!

Tenor Horn is cool. I played French horn for two years in Germany with the 7th Army band and loved it. Bass has always been my favorite instrument but rock is not my favorite music. I really prefer swing. I played in a 17 piece big band on bass for over 12 years and that was pure joy. The rock music I did enjoy playing the most had some jazz/swing intertwined. Van Morrison, Joe Cocker, Santana, Stevie Wonder, Bill Withers etc. is where I could dig in. I could feel it. Straight up 4/4 rock put me to sleep.

I always found the Doors to have a Jazz feel to them, mainly down to the drummers style!

I agree. We did Riders on the Storm and I loved that haunting base line that underlined the song. It just droned in the background while everything else swirled around it. We had a break out segment in the song that used a jazz chord structure. Some real dissonant dark moments. Great song.
