Hi. We have just uploaded the almost finished video for Ill Eagle...... there's a few minor changes to make but it's finished enough for people to start looking at it! The video is embedded on our profile or you can follow the link to Ben's vimeo page below.

The track is taken from our split 12" with Helheston on Upset The Rhythm records which is out really really soon (we should have copies next week so watch this space.......). Our friends Ben and Herod made the video for us, and these are Ben's words about it..........

This is the almost finished video me and Herod McHugh did for CHOPS with the help of the guys from Uprights, Jon Nash (Cowtown), Dicko (Cissy, Beards, Tigers!... ad infinitum), Katie Moore (Cissy), Aurora Fearnley (Left Eye Blind) and Charles Robert Arthur Pugh aka CRAP.

A bit of info about the video taken from the Burnt Toast blog:

On the island where my parents are from everyone forms a massive circle on the day of a wedding, the more confident women from the crowd take turns dancing with the wedding cake erotically in the centre. I don't know why they do this but I wouldn't be surprised if one of my aunties told me that it improved the flavour as they're quite a superstitious lot over there. When I visited (Petite Martinique) one time I filmed a wedding and have used this footage as material for the one we made on the day.

I took on the central role of chief erotically dancing woman and imitated to a certain extent some of the moves they were throwing in the original film which in turn my servile drones surrounding me would imitate. As for the idea behind it all I think it was about wanting something really badly but in the end not getting it in the form that you wanted, and also about forgetting what's best for yourself as a person and spending the bulk of your time gorging on simple pleasures to the point where you choke to death on them.
