I spent yesterday hanging out in a rainy Vancouver railyard sneaking some behind the scenes photos of Miss Quincy’s new silent movie era music video shoot.
The video is being directed, shot, edited, and everything in between by the vunderbar EVIL Patrick Shannon. Mayhaps you’ve seen his video for C.R. Avery’s Dungeon of Love or one of the seemingly million count Hockey Gods videos. It’s been a treat to observe an East Van ghetto pro in action (yes, “East Van ghetto pro” is absolutely a compliment).
If you stick around until the end of this photo series you’ll be rewarded with a couple shots of Miss Quincy at the hospital after the final kissing scene landed her right on her head on the railroad tracks.
Aiko makes The Starlet look like an old-time knockout, The Villain lurks around looking evil, and Evil shoots solo footage of The Hero.
Joel Lahaye, Hero extraordinaire.
Aiko Takase, make-up artist extraordinaire.
Holly Magnus, keeper of the umbrella/cutest page boy ever.
The Starlet & The Villain share an embrace before the kidnapping scene …
Miss Quincy seems to know something everyone else doesn’t … Probably that those tying her to the tracks are about to discover she’s not wearing any panties.
If you ever need to tie anyone up but find yourself without rope I would highly recommend XLR cables.

Moments before the final kiss knocked Miss Quincy right off her feet and onto her head.

In a role reversal that I’m sure would make Alanis Morissette proud – The Hero injures The Starlet and The Villain drives her to the hospital.
Unfortunately this is not so much a boudoir portrait of legendary writer Charles Bukowski himself as much as it is a portrait of a man reading Bukowski’s book Post Office in bed.
If you’ve never read any words by Charles Bukowski you’d best spend a little time browsing through websites like this or digging around the library to try and find a copy of his work that hasn’t been stolen.
In honour of Miss Quincy’s upcoming 2012 UK tour (which I’ll once again be along for, stay tuned for dates to be announced soon), here are is a formerly (f)unreleased video from the 2011 UK tour featuring Mister Quincy.

Today I have a sneak video peak as they rehearse for their upcoming 6 month tour across Canada, the UK, and Europe (Yes, I’ll be along for the whole ride too). The ladies have been rehearsing right on top of a downtown Vancouver storage warehouse (Yes, it’s the same place where The Storeroom Soiree was held).
I was recently told the worst part of living in Vancouver is that when you introduce yourself elsewhere you have to endure the inevitable, “You live in Vancouver? Eckhart Tolle lives in Vancouver! Oh my God, do you know him? The Power of Now changed my life … It’s my Bible!”.
Although I haven’t yet had to face that, I have seen the best Vancouver has to offer. For example, a Tuesday night soiree in a storage-warehouse-top apartment where the order of the eve is quality feasting, jamming, and watching old 1930s cartoons projector-style.
