A little bit of background to the video. It very nearly didn't get made.

We flew to Salvador in Brazil for 5 days of gigs and radio interviews. We thought 5 days would be enough to shoot a video. But when we arrived in beautiful Salvador there was what we could only describe as a small to medium hurricane going on. 70mph gusts of wind, incessant rain, the streets were flooded and the weather forecast wasn't looking good.

4 days of this went by and we thought, crap, we travelled all this way and we're going back home with no video between our legs. Luckily on the last day the hurricane had passed and we got sunshine, loads of it. Lady luck was on our side.

We thought fast and filmed everywhere we could, in the hotel, in a restaurant, on a bus, out on the street for a timelapse idea where the boys had to sit like statues for about 30 mins to get the effect of the world rushing by around them (and the shot only lasts about 5 seconds). I think the boys even got a tan.

Anyway, it was great fun and we are really happy with the result. Hope you all like it. Feel free to share it amongst your friends.
