Video Premiere - Ghost Frog – Shadow Club
It was the year of 2020 when the Portland four named Ghost Frog graced us with that damn fine release Astral Arcade. And come tomorrow we are a month away for the release of the stunning new Galactic Mini Golf album. To celebrate that fact, and to honor the spooky season that’s upon us, the spectral boys that quack have produced a wild new video for their latest single Shadow Club. Man, what a track, as you already know, the song transports you back to the height of the grunge days, and so does the video! That's right lazy nineties alternative, some psych and high fidelity head nod that will surely make you buy multiple copies of the single and pre-order a least five copies of the new Galactic Mini Golf album. A touch of slacker, a bit of shoegaze and a whole lot of conspiracy! I always had my doubts about golf! Click play, drink that kool-aid!
PR Wire:
Fore! Shot straight down the fairway like a ball out of hell, here comes the latest conspiracy and secret society themed music video by Portland, OR’s paranormal space punk veterans Ghost Frog for the conspira-single “Shadow Club” off their soon to be released new album, “Galactic Mini Golf.”
Quinn Schwartz, The band’s singer, who wrote the video and also stars in it, recruited local filmmaker Joel Gaddis, his coworker at the last remaining video store in Portland, Movie Madness, to handle cinematography and editing for the project. The video also stars the other members of the band as the titular “Shadow Club”: guitarist Karl Beheim, bassist Archie Heald, and drummer Vincent Lirocchi.
In it we find an eccentric conspiracy researcher who is obsessed with a certain group of rich and powerful men who he thinks are part of a nefarious, secretive organization called the “Shadow Club.” This character is an amalgamation of various media personalities including Joe Rogan, Alex Jones, Steven Seagal, and especially Fred Durst, who the band share a special affinity for as many of them are also in a Limp Bizkit tribute band together.
Convinced that the Club are up to no good, this intensely curious
researcher sets out to get to the bottom of what they’re hiding, which
leads him down a dangerous, winding path full of strange and unexpected
revelations. The video was inspired by the filmmakers' fascination with
paranoid thriller films like “Conspiracy Theory,” “The Parallax View,”
and “Eyes Wide Shut,” combined with their love of trashy 80’s and 90’s
action movies (the basic premise was Chuck Norris vs. the Illuminati).
They even filmed part of the video outside of the infamous Oculus Anubis
property in Damascus, Oregon, a mysterious local site which has long
been a hotbed for conspiracy theories and urban legends.
Are you ready to learn the terrifying truth about the “Shadow Club”?
