You know, I can see this being a discussion. We did some proper videos where we pre-recorded the tracks, then went to a studio to play along with them for the video, but I felt it was a little too fake too. I think informal "bad" live footage is a bit better. Since I'm running a mix, I could make up another AUX mix to go to the video camera....like there isn't everything else I have to worry about sound-wise!
Heck, I'm just happy there's somebody else out there pushing us right about the time I start to push us too. We'll see how well this guy does. It is nice to know there isn't another Devo band as good as we are (yet) - except for maybe DEVO themselves, who are also doing some local shows coming up!
