FORCEFIELD: video III

[elsaturnresearch]

This video is fantastic, but it's a bit ludicrous to suggest that Nick Cave got his idea about sound suits from this collective rather than to acknowledge the fact that Forcefield is appropriating rituals that are uncannily similar to those one might find in west Africa - a more likely source for Cave's inspiration - as well as Picasso's cubist paintings.......

[cpkelley]

I tend to believe that this is where Nick Cave got his idea for soundsuits. He stole it from Forcefield. Even the performance aspect of his suits. Proud to say I have seen these in their natural environment: 75 Eagle Sq. Providence.

I have this vhs. Miss those days. Wish I could go to the fort and walk through the fridge again and stare at all those bicycle parts in the entrance.

bootlegging is a nice gift for those of us too far from the original :)

This is what drugs do to your brains kids.

@ltgreatsocks

If that's the case, any advice on where I can buy some, or some personal recommendations?

[tommypython]

Best thing on the internet that I've seen!

[hdgunit]

i want to understand this video so bad, but i can't

[maxtubeaccount]

fuckup

[InformationPollution]

There's nothing to understand, trust me. In many videos like this there ARE things to understand, but not this one.

............?!?

[mbwanzer]

I love this band. I remember seeing neon hunk at the empty bottle in like 2004(?). They were sooo great!!

[dDcastro29]

Ya Mon Digi!

[frogggggggggie]

[Daghead]

My senses say ow. The beginning was funny though :)

[scandinavianserialki]

[superchargedschoolbu]

[batfly]

Can anyone say Eraser Head-esque?

[jalani00]

[nospmohtracso]

thank you for connecting a great film with a great art collective (i guess?)

[BerriessnCreamm]

I don't get it

[ramramram30]

throbbing gristle's back

[Beck436]

that was...wow. I mean, I've watched Paperrad stuff, but that was surreal.

[SomeShows]

That was by far one of the craziest things I've ever visually and audibly experienced. I love Lightning Bolt and Mindflayer and all those Fort Thunder bands, but MAN...this is crazy as fuck. I want a physical copy of this. Someone tell me where to get one, PLEASE.

[skidoome69]

hi i dont usually send comments but some kid told me to watch this and i have to say man i really dont get this stuff. is their any way you can explain it becaus e you seem to like it. i just dont know wha the hell it is i felat like i was dying or something when i listened to it.thanks

[SomeShows]

It's just a video of the band Forcefield, who do experimental Noise music, and make strange videos and art. It seems to be all in the name of bending what is believed to be "normal" or "acceptable" in the underground of art and music. At least, that's my understanding. Check out other related bands, Mindflayer, Lightning Bolt, and Black Pus. They are all very different and interesting. The reason you probably didn't like it was because you haven't gotten into it gradually like the rest of us.

[skidoome69]

ok thanks/ i will cheeck them out.

[gritboy]

Where's the robot?

[TruthDevours]

Anyone know if Neon Hunk has a video out yet?

[NClackum]

I was going to comment, but honestly, this video has left me speechless.

[islandcrimes]

are you the paper rad copier too?

[1bit]

well i have distributed bootlegs of their work. is this like being the hamburglar? or were you just referring to the animated gifs? ROTFLOL! haha

[islandcrimes]

[islandcrimes]

[friendlier]

Forcefield were doing these videos and knitting their costumes and pulsing their music years before the new crop of kids. 1bit is right, give it up for them!

[gliptitude]
