I know, I know, this is insane. Crooked Coast debuting their new video in a movie theater tomorrow night? A gala red carpet event with paparazzi and The Real Cape team doing interviews and covering the madness? And wait Crooked Coast is going to perform live after the video? Oh and all this takes place at a movie theater that has beer? It all sounds like, like a… like a dream.

Well it isn’t a dream, this is very real and it is going to be more fun than humans should be allowed to have. The fun police are literally running for the hills so they don’t get hit by any of the shrapnel emanating from how much of a blast this is going to be.

It happens tomorrow night at 9 p.m. but get there early because I guarantee it’ll be at capacity well before then. Plus you’ll get to do some spins and answer a few questions on the red carpet beforehand.

Here is the official press release…

“This is too big for youtube.

Here at Crooked Coast, we always want to push it. Whether it’s bringing a passionate live performance to the stage or crafting a tight, versatile, heartfelt album in the studio. If you don’t run, you rust. Thank you for running with us thus far. Where are we headed now?

Music videos are something we all love. The same way you can bounce favorite songs around, you can also debate greatest music videos. Thriller and November Rain showed us music videos could be as memorable as a great song. They elevated the art form. Advances in technology have opened the floodgates. Artists with a camera and guerilla hustle can bring their vision to the world. There was never a better time for big ideas and small budgets.

Our friend Nicholas Santos is a fiercely talented young filmmaker. He is originally from Falmouth and now resides in NYC. We shot two previous videos with him, ‘Gone Without You’ and ‘Ritalin.’ We love the way he works. He is quiet and thoughtful but at the same time pushed us to try different things, taking our visions to new places.

When the time came to shoot a new music video to support our album Thanks for the Memories, we chose the song ‘Loose Tooth.’ The song is both happy and sad. The theme deals with death and the unknown after, the heartache of being human, the hints of things beyond our understanding and the joy of being with the people you love.

The shoot took place over two days last January. It was cold, raining, windy and a lot of fun. The first day was a sixteen-hour shoot and the second we shot for twelve. Crooked Coast gets damn near militant when it comes to shooting videos. We locked in like Voltron and got tons of amazing footage. Our friends and our ladies helped out acting in the video. We had connections with some caretakers that secured amazing (secret) locations.

The end result is stunning landscapes, torches, chases, animal costumes, fire, a synchronized dance routine and more. We are really proud of this production. Watching the footage we said, “This is too big for youtube, of course it will end up there eventually but the release deserves something more.”

Then it hit us; a bigger vision needs a bigger screen. We reached out to the Falmouth Cinema Pub and they agreed to host us.
Now we had the big vision and the big screen but we needed to make sure it was a big event. Reaching out to therealcape.com made sense. They are a local outfit that is working hard to be creative and buck the conception of what it means to be “Cape Cod.” We found kindred spirits in them and decided to partner up for the premier party.

Wednesday, May 28th we will unveil Loose Tooth. The Real Cape team will be shooting red carpet style interviews outside so make sure you look good. Then at 9 pm we will perform live, a first for the Cinema Pub. After the live performance we will premier the video. The event is all ages. There is a $5 cover charge.

You can watch the video on your phone later but the first time; go big.”

MVTimes.com – Edgartown Police said Benjamin Knight, 35, circled the Chappaquiddick ferry parking lot twice before he intentionally drove his white Toyota Tacoma pickup truck off the Chappy ferry ramp and into Edgartown harbor just before noon, Monday.

The swift current swept the truck into the channel and deeper water as Mr. Knight crawled out the window. Luckily, assistant Edgartown harbormaster Mike Hathaway just happened to be nearby in a patrol boat. Mr. Hathaway plucked Mr. Knight from the water and managed to secure a line to the truck and pull it out of the channel to the Chappy shoreline where it was later winched to dry land.

Mr. Knight was transported to the Martha’s Vineyard Hospital for mental and medical evaluation. He was not injured but was committed for mental evaluation, police said.

The Chappy ferry was not in the slip at the time of the accident. The truck barreled through a safety chain and a wooden lift gate that prevents entrance to the slip until the ferry operator signals vehicles forward.

Mr. Knight told officers that the gas pedal had become stuck and he could not stop his truck, according to a police press release.

“Investigation revealed that there had been no mechanical issue with the Toyota Tacoma pickup truck and it was a standard transmission,” police said. “Video footage showed that Knight had circled the ferry parking lot twice just prior to running off the ramp. Officers concluded that this was an intentional act.”

Ah the old ‘gas pedal was stuck in a truck with a manual clutch’ excuse after driving off the Chappy Ferry ramp into Edgartown Harbor. A story as old as time itself. Given that you could just hit the clutch and then the brake to stop the truck in that situation, I personally would have gone with sunstroke causing me to hallucinate and think the ferry was there, but that’s just me. You know six to one, half dozen to another.

Another sign of the times. I guess Cape kids just don’t drink in the woods any more. These are school kids so there is no way I’m going to make fun of them for lip syncing, that would just be mean. If it’s good enough for Beyonce at a presidential inauguration, I guess it’s good enough for me. Cool video guys.

CapeCodOnline.com – According to a report by state Trooper Kevin Riordan filed in court records, at 2:30 p.m. May 12, a woman was headed east to Chatham on Route 6 by motorcycle when she saw Cavanaugh in her rear-view mirrors swerving from lane to lane behind her. She told police she was worried he would cause an accident and pulled into the passing lane.

To her surprise, Riordan wrote in the report, Cavanaugh pulled up beside her in the travel lane with both vehicles going 65 mph.

Cavanaugh then allegedly extended himself out of the open driver’s-side window and tried to grab the woman’s arm and leather coat. He was yelling at her, but she couldn’t understand what he was saying, she told police.

She sped up and moved into the travel lane, with Cavanaugh again driving aggressively, switching lanes behind her, the report says. When she moved into the passing lane again as she came upon a pickup truck, Cavanaugh had to slam on his brakes to avoid hitting it and spun out of control, hitting the fence in the eastbound rest area in Dennis.

Jesus, we’ve got a straight up Mad Max situation on Route 6. The big question here is if this guy knew this lady or not. If he was a total stranger then I can’t imagine a more frightening experience. What goes through your head when this happens to you? I mean every bad thing you’ve ever done in your entire life must flash into your mind. Like “how do I know this guy, did I do something to him, his family, his dog? Did someone tape some crack to the back of my jacket? did I make fun of his cousin on an internet blog?”

Either way this chick is a shoo-in for the All Cape BAMF team. Any woman on a motorcycle that outruns a lunatic trying to grab her out of a car window at 65 miles per hour on the highway is a bad ass of epic proportions. Not gonna lie, it moved a little when I was reading this article.

P.S. This story seals the deal, Route 6 is officially the most dangerous road in the universe. Just look at the results of this Google search.
