Fresh from their show at Farm 255 the night before, Jeff and Wallace of Drakkar Sauna only had one condition for the soundie-they wanted to sing close together, four-part harmony with Paige and Claire Campbell. After wandering around the streets outside of Hot Corner for a while, we decided to give the Co-op grocery a try. The quartet's effortless four part harmony caught us all off guard. Old friends and tourmates sing well together. Check the guys out and don't miss them when they play your town.

After shooting in the co-op, we decided it'd be fun to do the next song in the middle of a residential road with light to moderate traffic. It was fun, and we ran into Nick Canada(formerly of Dark Meat).

No 3: The Corduroy Road
It had been raining for days and we'd been dancing around different dates with the band for close to a month. We knew we just needed to get out there, find some semi-shelter, and see what happened. The old warehouse next to PigPen studios worked pretty well and the rain drops complimented Drew and Dylan's song nicely. It was a song we'd heard them play in clubs around town, but the surroundings gave it a slightly different charm.
We liked the idea of the guys standing on top of a box car, but none of the boxcars had roofs and nobody wanted to walk around on a mound of wet sand for the duration of the song. In the end we still were able to use the box car, and the guys' energy gave the soundie more life than we could have hoped for in such a seemingly restricted space.
This area directly next door to Pigpen Studios was irresistible.
