Recording in a creaky old mill in Bradford, the band spent best part of a day getting the instrument and microphone placement just right for the audio recording. In true Blind Club style they prepared to capture the wonderful room sound as best they could.

Two days was spent filming a range of different songs, interviews and general clips of the band. What emerged is a strong body of work we are very proud of creating with such an inspirational group of musicians. 'For 12' was recorded in a single take on a bandstand in Shoreditch London. The band were rushing to load in for their album release appearance at Rough Trade East, and only had time for one run through, despite the request of 'one more' from one of the bystanders.

Day one saw The Blind Club capturing 'Pistola Kicks' - an exciting rock outfit with a pop streak from Sheffield.
The cold December light fills the ageing mill in this video, as Pistola Kicks record a previously unrecorded song exclusively for The Blind Club. Again a wonderful audio recording is captured by sound engineer Dan Worrall, which he has sprinkled subtly with a natural reverb of the fantastic space in his mix.

Day one saw The Blind Club capturing 'Pistola Kicks' - an exciting rock outfit with a pop streak from Sheffield.
Setting tight time restraints for recording, the band rattled through 'Head in the Sand' with an air of swagger, while the camera team tracked every move with a sense of urgency. What was created is a film that beautifully complements the tone of the song and the energy of the band's performance.

Playing in front of a packed out crowd, It was a special event in the bands quickly accelerating career.
Sending 6 cameras along with an equal number of operators the film produced is an interesting blend of TV broadcast style festival coverage and The Blind Club's own organic approach. The cameras on stage show no fear and get right up close with the performers, giving the viewer some extraordinary insights into the point of view of the band members.
