New York, NY (Top40 Charts) he infamously sexy and comedic imagination of LA�s agro-pop wiz-kid, Geordie Kieffer, has culminated in a delightfully twisted new video for his newest single, �Red Line� which premiered via Myspace.
The singer-songwriter/producer, as well as Georgetown University postgraduate, has been working diligently to literally recreate this video � he explains, �One of my friends who happened to be in [the first version] got a big time movie deal and her agents wouldn�t let us put out �Red Line.� Too graphic, not the right image. Therefore, we needed to start fresh with a new director, producer, et cetera.�
The video for �Red Line,� unlike its beloved precursor, �Tastes Like Chocolate,� is shot in a stark black-and-white, drawing a sharp contrast between the good and the evil within its three-minute running time. �This video was a fucking ball. I mean, who doesn�t like drugs, violence, and cake?!� Geordie posits. �Unlike �Tastes Like Chocolate,� this video was shot very quickly. We had a concept that we liked and we wanted to get it done. My mom hates it, but she still loves me.�
As the video�s monochromatic veil might suggest, �Red Line� has the music and lyrical content to coincide, as well as launch Geordie�s career. He notes, �I remember that the first thing that got laid down was that raggedly harsh synth. I knew some people wouldn�t dig it, but for me, it was love at first listen. I knew the song had to be hard as fuck to keep up with that synth bass, so I guess I just started screaming about the accolades and pitfalls of American society, [and] in essence, a macro look at my own micro character defects. I think it was here, writing and recording �Red Line,� that I finally found my voice. I found Agro-Pop. I was like, �Shit! I don�t have to sing all airy soft and sweet! I can scream and yell and fuck shit up and still have it be melodic and catchy. Well goddamn, I�m in!'�
The music video for �Red Line� was produced by John Conaboy and Geordie Kieffer, and directed by Sela Shiloni.
