Shoot for the new clip was 'jinxed'
 |
| Rubicon Cross 2014 |
Shooting their latest video proved difficult for Rubicon Cross. The results, however, proved it was all worth it.
The majority of hard rock bands that manage to break through to the masses do so with a killer video clip.
And Rubicon Cross has a worthy one on their hands with "Bleed with Me," off their fast-rising self-titled album, of which a "deluxe edition" will be available for purchase on May 19th exclusively through BestBuy (which comes with a poster and bonus tracks):
Shot in Racine, WI, the band (which is comprised of Firehouse's CJ Snare/vocals, Chris Green/lead guitars, Jeff Lerman/second guitar, Simon Farmery/bass, and Robert Behnke/drums), had this to say about the video shoot:
"I can't believe we did it! The "'Bleed with Me' video seemed jinxed at every turn. We had about five venues cancel on us before a friend [Brett Ihde - director of sales at Magnificent Events] came through with the abandoned warehouse less than two days before we started shooting. What we accomplished in 48 hours made us wonder how bands even use to spend $300,000 on a video. Thanks to friends and colleagues, we came up with a video we're incredibly proud of, and the help we received only reinforced the message of the song, when you have a band of brothers, anything is possible!"

And according to the band, other highlights of the shoot included:
--The amount of red brick dust in the factory coated every bit of our equipment.
--Behnke's drums were shot in a service elevator.
--The lighting was created by volunteers waving lights above the drums.
--Simon the bass player refused to go in a room with spiders so was shot in a hallway.
--The band shot a "Hello Cleveland" tribute to Spinal Tap that day, soon to be released.
--CJ's flight was so held up in traffic that the band had shot the drum AND bass shots already by the time he got there.
--Expecting nothing, Brett Ihde had laid on full catering including, sandwiches, cold meat buffet, chips, candy, large bottle of Jager, vodka, Jack, crate of Guinness and crate of lager (these got consumed during the process of the video).
--Band started drinking at 11am.
