You're a Creature of the Night, baby!!!

It's finally out the door. You can view it here:

It was a lot of work. Roman wrote the script. Nick Testa directed the video. Skitz did all the editing. Filmed almost a month ago and finally released, this should be the video that gets us on the map. Astral Eyes has every intention of being a household name. We invented Romantic Metal and we work like madmen to get to you the best music we can.

Videos are a big part of our business model. Look around you. Everyone's on a computer nowadays. You're reading this either from a laptop or a desktop or a phone or an iPad (or iPad competitor). A big part of our business model is getting people to know us on the internet. The internet is where it's at. We've had people bug us about promoting on the radio, but we listen to the kids. The kids tell us that the majority of the new bands they hear, they first listened to online. Online trumps radio. Hey, radio is great. But we're not going to waste our time promoting like crazy on a dying medium.

So enough of that rant, the video turned out great. So many people we'd like to thank. First off, the actresses:

All five of you kicked major ass! Thanks so much to all five of you. Of course you recognize Alice from the first video. She was so awesome to work with that we really wanted to work with her again. All five of you were great, and if any of you need references, we'll be more than happy to give you glowing reviews. We love people who are pleasant to work with.

Next, we wanted to thank Nick Testa, the Director. Second time working with you as a Director. There's a great reason for that - you know what you're doing, you're well-organized, and you're very efficient. You got in, you knew the script, you told everyone what to do, and you shot the scenes. Your professionalism paid off as we couldn't be happier with how the scenes turned out, how the lighting turned out, and how you got us to act exactly how we wanted it.

Thanks too to Carrie and Issa from Vampiress Records. You're both level-headed and well-organized. Business is an underappreciated part of the music industry. Everyone loves to credit the artistic side of music, but very few people appreciate the business aspect of it. We do, and both of us thank you greatly for what you did.

Also, thanks to Rob from Blu42 in Walnut Creek. It's a wonderful club. He let us borrow the club for the day to do the indoor shooting. Outdoors was raining and very cold. We stayed dry and that made the girls happy. Also, let's not forget the Blu42 staff. Every single one of you were great. You knew what we were there for and each one of you helped us out immensely. We really appreciate that.

And let's not forget Kenny the Limo Driver. He was great to work with. Very patient. We hope we didn't drive him nuts. Limo drivers are extremely polite and stoic, so hopefully underneath that stoicism, he enjoyed our presence. We had a blast that day.
