10 millenniums in Los Angeles

I hope everyone is now unzipping their layered and thermal outerwear, finally welcoming the opulent rays of the sun; the warm round beast that has been hiding behind leagues of frosty universe, leaving our entire country to freeze in an unpredictable frigid climate. During the wrath of Earth's icy dominion, we Fear Before had the opportunity to shoot a new music video---a video that took place outside. At night. Each of us covered in cold wet mud. For 7 hours. I am typing with a sniffly stuffed nose, still yet the aftermath of a bare fleshy warm-blooded body at mercy to nature's unyielding force. But it was one of the best times of my life. I am glad we survived...
The day of the shoot we had all afternoon to sleep in and prepare ourselves for the ultimate exposure to the most unprecedented dreary weather Los Angeles had thrown at its greasy pavement since long before anyone could remember. Scene call was at 430 PM and we threaded through the tight Los Angeles suburbs in our van and trailer, beads of thunderous rain splattering at our windshield. We pulled up to a colossal veranda tucked deeply away, past winding pavemented pathways and extensive open yards, the terrace costumed in a blatant castle design--resembling some ancient ride at Disneyland that would have been torn down mid 80's during the influx of theme rides that choked the expensive real estate of booming Southern California. Quickly the amiable director took charge, requesting that we change into the clothes we were willing to destroy in repeated rock n' roll maneuvers and gallons of clumpy bubbly thick mud. We were seamlessly swinging our hair doused in baby oil and faces caked in Milano foundation cream, clenching our frozen digits around the muddy necks of our guitars..trying to look infused with rock core amidst the terrible elements of nature breaking our backs with each cold pounding rain drop upon our shoulders. With the staggered alleviation from a heated living room dressed in garbage bags to ward off the mud stains, we zipped in and out of the frosty field with only enough time to recirculate the blood through our veins, heating our hands and feet next to the television that was constantly playing reality television. But hardship yields results. So stay tuned for the upcoming video for "Fear Before doesn't listen to people who don't like them", because we almost died of hypothermia to deliver it to you. That's my column for today.
