This Is How It Was Meant To Be
Rah Bras “Venis” – Video treatment: A small club is filled with attractive, self-conciously wild Last Night’s Party-ish people who are all dressed in costumes that are either directly lifted from or inspired by Rob Liefeld comics. It’s a nonstop barrage of bulky pads, metal nubbins, enormous boots, gratuitous pouches, weird face paint, complicated hair, skin-tight lycra, and super-hiked thongs, all on partygoers striking improbable poses and swinging around gigantic laser cannons and swords like maniacs. (CGI may be necessary in post-production.) (Click here to buy it from Lovitt.)
Crazy Penis “Lady T” – Let’s just ignore the Crazy Penis name, okay? Set to a bouncey funk groove, a smooth disco boy emulates (and name checks, and interpolates) the Bee Gees and Michael Jackson while setting up a sleazy party scenario that falls someplace between the glamorously fucked-up fantasy that is often imagined, and the reality that some people manage to create from that blueprint.
