It’s no secret that I think the debut album from Action!, Friend Weakend, is one of the finer things to come out of the Nashville music scene in some time so when they reached out to me about doing something special for their forthcoming November 19th vinyl release show I was flattered to try and help. Here’s the deal – the band wants to have videos to accompany them during their release show on the 19th and need your help to make it happen. They’ve setup an informative page to give you the lowdown but all you really need to know is that you can make a video to be projected behind them for any song other than “Sandpiper” (Tugboat Productions has that one covered). The best and brightest entries will be shown during the show and posted here on We Own This Town (not to mention plenty of other Internet sites).
I know what you’re thinking – isn’t this potentially free video work for an emerging band? Yes, it is but that doesn’t have to have a negative spin to it (don’t be so cranky). Ideally you enjoy the album as much as we do and also enjoy an extra-curricular activity or two. This would be the perfect fit.
Go pick a song, notify the band of your pick and get to it!
