King Loses Crown: "My Revenge"

Xeni Jardin at 12:00 pm Thu, Dec 6, 2012

Boing Boing reader Michael Cobra writes,

You wrote about a video I made of my son's Deadmau5 costume last year. I wanted share another project I'm involved with: my band King Loses Crown just released our first single but this tip is for the video that accompanies the single. It was directed by Jim Mitchell, who is best know for his work as VFX director on the Harry Potter films, Sleepy Hollow, Jurassic Park III etc. Take a look, it's an astonishingly high end video from a 100% independent San Francisco band!

Too bad the music isn’t nearly as good as the CGI. Did Fred Schneider from the B-52′s join a high school Metallica cover band?

I enjoyed the music and the video, there is always someone trying to elevate themselves in some sort of imagined pecking order by pooping out a “sick burn” I hope you ignore it and take note that some folks like what you are doing.

I’m in my office and wasn’t able to watch the video right away. Instead I minimized the browser and just listened to the song while working. What a great song. I’ll download it.

And can Fred Schneider please do a duet with James Hetfield?

I, too, enjoyed both video and audio.
