The SucCUMb Video/Short-Film Concept

Kinky Notti Succumb Video Shoot from TeN on Vimeo.

We'd just finished up a photo shoot with our guy Ten Photos... just stepped into place in front of this remote basement wall, ready to start filming what we call our "live-action shots" for the new Kinky Notti "SucCUMb" video... when Ten thought he'd be slick & pull out his iPhone to capture a sneak peak of us warming up the camera with a lil test-run through the track. In this video, we were mostly checking for lighting-quality & visual accuracy of the camera. It wasn't until a couple shots later that we actually started doing full, 100% action-takes. But still, this gives a nice glimpse into the behind-the-scenery of the video.

No we're not doing Gaga & TPain or whoever the hell... we're the embodiment of the concept that we created a while ago & even named our entire project after--> SUCCUMB!
When a person succumbs to something they fail to resist pressure, temptation, or other influential forces. In our new video, we intend to portray those little voices in the minds of the starring characters, egging them on through each scene as they succumb, or give into, different impulses & particular situations. The approach was to shoot a more cinematic story, which is why we consider the joint to be more of a short film than a video. There's plenty of play on fantasy vs. reality throughout... more Lynchian in approach, expressing striking images-in-motion. Let's not forget the futuristic, blaring sound of the track itself, which makes for a beautiful blend that's sooooo Kink Not.

Don't miss "SucCUMb" - The Kinky Notti Short Film Fantasy (click for details)... or just follow us tomorrow on twitter for updates & links to be released throughout the day. Catch the link to the video premiere and watch us celebrate live on Ustream from Blue Frog 22 (22 E. Hubbard- 5pm to 11pm)!!

Open Rehearsals

Wow, our first installment of Open Rehearsals at the Kinky Notti Juke Joint turned out to be such betterwith! So good, that now we're making it a bi-monthly event. We thought "what better way for our fans & homies to get an inside look at our performances + see the evolution of our next music-project than to witness it all live at our rehearsals?"... Plus we love receiving any kind of instant feedback from people, so it's a win, win situation.

Last time at our Open Rehearsal we banged out a live photo shoot with our guy Ten Photos + performed... so now we have new photos for the upcoming Kinky Notti promotion (that we plan to unleash later on this week). Also Tshurhad Chivas got to play around with some of his new song-ideas for Havanah Maxie's fresh beat-collection. It was a super-tight sneak preview for all the newbies who came thru!

Dopest of all, is that there's recently been a string of nice show-offers collecting for Kinky Notti, such as our upcoming show at HOB Chicago. We're opening up for The Lyfe Jennings "I Still Believe Tour" Monday Sept. 27th... anyway, we can honestly say that so far, Open Rehearsals seems to be the perfect outlet for us to connect to for expressing that magical creative-connection shared between us with others... it's a beautiful thing!

Chicago--> check out our Facebook Fan Page or our Twitter Page for updates on the next Kinky Notti installment of Open Rehearsal at the Juke Joint... but for now, here's some behind-the-scene pics & vid-footagery.
