This is the intro video for the UsedWigs Live event from March 19, 2010 at World Cafe Live. It was created by Ken Ryzner, an insanely talented Philadelphia-area producer/director/writer. Russ saved Ken from drowning twice (he’s a horrible water skier), so Ken shows his appreciation by making cool videos for UsedWigs and running all the audio and video madness for the live shows.

Man, I really really dig this song and video. This is exactly what my friends and I should be doing on the weekend: rocking the crap out of a great song in our front yard while looking dapper with effortless insouciance and emotion.
Back in 1987 Rush entrusted the video for their song “Time Stands Still” to a guy who was not afraid to use a green screen and a special effect or 4,000. The pitch: “Hey Guys, love your stuff! BIG Huck Sawyer & Limelife fan, anyway… for this video, I’m thinking… now stay with me… ‘floaty and frenetic? Huh? And I got the ‘Voices Carry’ chick to chase you around a bit with a TV camera. It’s gold, right? Let’s do it.”‘
I only know this one Saga song and call me crazy, but I think it still holds up. Guitar solos, keyboard solos, Han solos… it all just works. I loved watching this video back in the day, a nice mix of live performance and cheesy-as-hell conceptual work. I’m still not sure why the guy from Hall & Oates was in prison, but thankfully, with the help of a dame, hebusted out.
