CMTV: Future Kings of Spain - Syndicate

Irish indie bands and music videos haven't always been the happiest of bedfellows. 

'Here lads, do you know what would be deadly; if we recorded ourselves buskin' on Grafton Street, that'd be original' seemed to be as far as most bands would stretch. 

However, the technology involved in making decent videos is becoming cheaper and more and more bands are using the medium as an extension of their music. 

With this in mind, Key Notes today launches a new feature which will bring you new and interesting videos released by Irish indie bands - CLUAS Music Television.

Today's video is from the Future Kings of Spain.  The track, Syndicate, taken from the Nervousystem album, normally extends to over 8 minutes, but for its release as a single in July it has been cut to half that.  The video, directed by Joshua Sachs, was filmed by Ivan McCullough and students from The Tisch Film School in New York as part of the HotPress/Tisch Film School program.  It was shot over two days in Inchicore, Dublin 8.
