On a long, cold, windy Tuesday we shot the music video for our next single ‘Quicker’! Directed by China from Warp Films.

The theme of the video is travel and transport. We shot it in the Isle Of Dogs in east London. There are shots where we travel on motorbikes, on the back of a pick up truck, on foot, in a mini us and on the DLR. It was a really good day. The video will be out soon. Enjoy.

Coco Sumner Enters A New Decade

Coco Sumner of checked in with fans on her blog at MySpace on Wednesday (August 4), discussing how she celebrated her 20th birthday and the gameplan for releasing the band’s debut album ‘The Constant’. Sting’s daughter writes:

Hello everyone.

The band and I have continued to have a busy time this month…

First and foremost it was my birthday last Friday and I entered a new decade… the 20s. On the Saturday we played the 1 year anniversary of No Time For Heroes at the Queen of Hoxton in London Town. There was a brilliant line up and I can safely say that I am now a great fan of Phantom, Rodeo Massacre and Smatka. Twas a top night!

In the lead up towards the release of the album. I’ve decided to write a track by track week by week discussions of the thing. Also I’m going to be answering a couple of questions from you guys. So go ahead and probe me!

Ps I moved into a new flat this week… Hectic but exciting.

I Blame Coco ‘Self Machine’ Video Behind The Scenes

are out with behind the scenes footage from the shooting of their ‘Self Machine’ music video, featuring comments from Coco Sumner complaining about a lack of sleep and talking about shooting a scene in double speed, while director Alex Smith described the treatment.

“We just got to the location and it looks a bit like the ‘Twin Peaks’ set,” Coco said. “I’m a little sleepy. We played the Big Weekend yesterday, and I didn’t really sleep last night.”

“Coco likes science fiction, futuristic ideas, and the idea of a space set so the idea was a swimming pool with no water in it suggests that it becomes obsolete,” Smith said describing the scene. “A lot of people like the idea of an empty swimming pool, but I was thinking about if you’re creating a surface of water with plastic dragging in, artificially creating a texture like water. The gang are creating a swimming pool within an empty swimming pool I suppose. Floating in water but not being in water.”

Talking about a quickened scene she was about to shoot, Coco said, “In order to keep the performance in synch, they play at double speed, so I have to sing double speed. I sound like a chipmunk. It was like what music is going to be in 20 years, when kids don’t have any attention span whatsoever.”
