NEW RELEASE: The Sam Roberts Band "The Gate"

The Sam Roberts Band
"The Gate" (Universal Canada)
Christopher Mills, director/editor | Anthony Seck, producer | Spy Entertainment, production co | George Vale, DP | Description: Canadian rock star Sam Roberts borrows the scrappy, psychedelic tone of Revolver era Beatles for this rollicking track from his upcoming album Chemical City. Director Christopher Mills — who at this point could be considered the master of improvised, visual psychedelia — is more than up to the challenge of achieving a suitably burnt and trippy look to match the tune. Shots of the barren desert landscape outside Las Vegas is mixed with a performance in which Roberts and his bandmates are on miniature wooden platforms that are tugged back and forth across a stage by purposefully exposed pulleys. -- watch "The Gate"
