If you are anything like me – a total attention whore – you would jump at any opportunity to get your name and/or face shown to the public. Instead of spending countless hours trying to make a video to be on the soul-sucking, brain-numbing Real World, why not be a part of something local and that doesn’t require utter humiliation?
Portland’s Archeology is looking for extras for their video shoot for “By the By,” which is a single off their new album Memorial due out next month. The shoot will be this Saturday, February 20th. The locale is Sauvie’s Island and St. Helens. The feel of the video is creepy mixed with celebratory angst, and the band asks that everyone dresses in ’30s-’60s period clothes.
Meeting time is 12 p.m. on Saturday at the parking garage under the NW Burnside Fred Meyers. This sounds like a ridiculously fun time and a great chance to support a local band. If I wasn’t whoring myself out somewhere else this Saturday I would be there fo’sho’. Oh, and don’t forget to come out for Archeology’s show at Mississippi Studios this Wednesday, February 17th with fellow Portland mellow-rockers Oh Captain, My Captain, and Seattle’s The Globes. Doors at 8 p.m., show at 9 p.m. $8
