The New Pornographers
"Sing Me Spanish Techno" (Mint/Matador)
Michael Palmieri, director/editor | Greg Milton & Oliver Linsley, producers | Villains (Canada)/A Band Apart, production co's | Matt Uhry, DP | Description: A drag queen's cabaret performance of this New Pornographers power pop gem inspires an interested patron to get it in on the fun. They head back to the singer's apartment for a little shaving, plucking and tucking before returning to the bar an encore performance. The only audience member is band leader A.C. Newman, who enjoys the show almost as much as his whiskey. -- watch "Sing Me Spanish Techno"
