The Video:
Tone Tank, member of rap duo Iller Than Theirs and
rap collective
Nuclear Family, is back with another free solo project entitled
The King of Surf Guitar Rap EP. Following the release
of his last free EP, The Black Six Sessions, Tone was due for a much needed vacay
from NYC. Embarking west for salvation, Tone ended up in a nearly dilapidated
hotel in the middle of the desert in the remote Southwest. There, Tone stumbled
upon and befriended a 60's surf guitar legend who shared old dusty recordings
and memorabilia with him. Functioning in a half-mad hallucinogenic state, Tone
found that the music and relics provided endless fodder for his creativity and
The King of Surf Guitar Rap EP was born.
With direction
by Paul Korzan and concept, props, and costumes by Tone Tank,
the video for the
title track, "King
of Surf Guitar Rap," is equal parts Fear and Loathing
in Las Vegas and
Pee Wee's Playhouse. Shot almost entirely in Tone's cramped
and dungeonous Brooklyn basement, Tone and Korzan spent weeks on end creating
the paper mache set for which Tone could transform into the rapping sea creature.
After nightly visits from dinosaurs, luchadores, and debaucherous women, Tone
has regained some of his physical and mental capacity and is ready to share the
title video, which offers insight into his reclusive and somewhat hallucinogenic
state of mind.
Tone & Korzan are proud to present their video, which was just featured
on MySpace.com.
The King of Surf Guitar Rap EP is available as a FREE download on Scumlife.com and RadioBelly.com.
