MICHALE GRAVES To Film 'Locked Away' Video
February 5, 2009, 15 years ago
Former MISFITS vocalist MICHALE GRAVES has issued the following update:
"From February 19th to 22nd, I will be in Georgia filming a music video with the very talented and ambitious Alexander Skeen. Alex is a student at The Savannah College of Art and Design and will be producing/directing a video based on an idea by Doug Evil for 'Locked Away'."Alex says, "The music of Michale Graves provided the anthem for my teenage years. I can remember driving my friends home from school with all of us signing along to 'Dig Up Her Bones', trying to pick up girls by playing 'Crying on Saturday Night' on my acoustic guitar, and even singing 'The Monster Mash' on Halloween with a skull painted on my face. No matter where I lived, whether it be New Zealand, Sweden, Spain or even Rhode Island, USA; these songs carried me all through my life.
I wanted to work with Michale because I truly believe that Illusions Live / Viretta Park is an amazing album, and I feel like I should do everything in my power to help get the word out to the public. With all of these resources available, I am confident we can provide Michale with the best music video possible.
As a fan, I know firsthand what it is like being starved for new information from a band that I love, so while Michale is down here for the shoot, we are going to be producing various 'Behind the Scenes' videos to be put online. Everyone will be able to watch them while we are putting the finishing touches in post-production.
This is an album for the fans, and we want to keep that mentality throughout all phases of production. I hope you all will be patient for the next two months as we are working through this, and I am sure that you will all love the finished product!"
The song 'Locked Away' is currently streaming at Michale's MySpace.
