Hurricane Ad for The Daybirds and famous fm

Edited, sound design, audio production and title design by August Hour, 2002
music by famous fm and the Daybirds, shot on location in Liberty, Missouri (we think).

Not so long ago I played in a touring band called famous fm. We would drive around, loading and uloading a van full of gear, Sometimes we would play a show for people too. The best part of that process was coming home and playing in our hometown. This ad was one the bar ran to advertise our big outdoor show on a big stage as part of their summer festival. Just to prove we weren't too big for our britches, we decided to note the one KC band everyone used to know about.

So, we wrote this script, shot the ad on a Digital Hi-8 camera and edited the entire thing in two days. The ad aired during the MTV Video Music Awards that year, in prime time.

Oh yeah, we recorded the two songs you hear in this ad.
