That being said, we spend many hours perusing the interweb and lately we've been seeing a lot more music video production in Chicago. I mean, A LOT. Which makes us happy. And by happy, I mean like happy I'm not this guy's banana hammock. Gross. Anyway, it makes us especially elated when we see rocking ass videos like this from a band we've never heard of (but glad we did!).
ORNERY LITTLE DARLINGS is a local guy/girl duo that's got swag. A two person bootlegger's ball breaks out in a sea of anonymous hands and loose feathers in what they call "a highly improbable ornery-as-hell-love-child between Billie Holiday and Lou Reed". We call it awesome. I found influences of Scott Masson (who also happens to be their new tour mate with his new band The Juliets) and I couldn't help recalling Chicago throwback The Countdown. Could be because of the whole guy/girl thing but who cares?! Jason Ewers rocks in this video, and Emmi Chen . . . I'll just go right ahead and say it. She steals the scene, she's just so SEXY!
Kudos to the guys that put it together. Great concept from Endless Eye Films and awesome set design from IShootRockStars.com!! Keep it up, Chicago!
