Video Premiere: "Virtual Pot" by LUKE TOKYO DRIFTER FEAT. SEXUAL SEAN
We've known KENNY from MAGIC MILK and TODAY'S HITS for a long time. Or at least it feels that way. We know him so well, in fact, that we've never bothered to find out what the hell his last name is. Some mysteries are best left unsolved... When Kenny asked us if we'd like to premiere his new video for his new solo recording project LUKE TOKYO DRIFTER FEAT. SEXUAL SEAN (which is, we think, his internet alter-ego or something), we gladly said, "Yeah, we can put it up on our blog, if you want." He responded with "that'd be cool" and now here we are. What a world."Virtual Pot" is the first song we've heard from Kenny as Luke Tokyo Drifter and the recording process just tickles us: "All of the recordings are made in my van while i drive around and feature my friends, bandmates and even people walking by while i'm stopped at a light or something." This song is simply a fuzzy guitar and a drum machine, but paired with the video, it acts as a disorienting, trippy exploration of the world that LUKE & SEXUAL SEAN (the same person? Kenny & his GF?) inhabit. Most of the video takes place under water, but brief shots of trips to the beach and a playground weave in and out. In Kenny's own words, "The video was filmed while swimming, using a camera as a frisbee." The whole thing is weird and kind of fucked up, but we dig this new, experimental direction that Kenny's going in...Watch it and catch LUKE TOKYO DRIFTER FEAT. SEXUAL SEAN with DUSTIN WONG & BIG DIPPER at a FREE WITH RSVP show on May 6th!
