A REALLY COOL IDEA FOR A BAND WEBSITE

 Tuesday, November 10th, 2009 at 3:00pm by

rusty eyeCheck out the official website for the band Rusty Eye. The entire premise of the website is a set of three video screens — each focusing on one of the three band members — which play simultaneously and show the band performing… the entire record. They’re not just static camera angles either; each screen switches angles periodically to keep things interesting. If the band wanted to take it to the next level they would’ve allowed the viewer to control the switching of camera angles; but alas, that’d probably be really fucking expensive to produce and code.

I’m not too hot on the band’s vocal approach, but their music is pretty decent progressive thrash (if there’s such a thing). Moreso I just wanted to point out the website, which I think is a really cool idea. I wish more bands would spend the time to develop creative ideas like this to market their music on the web.

    • alliaphagist

      doesn’t seem like a bad idea. I know a lot of girls like driving in high heels. I guess it’s not that much different.

      That’s some skills if you ask me. It’s a pretty cool band, I don’t mind the vocals and some of the songs are pretty catchy. Might pick me up a copy.

      Wow, I guess I’m not the only one who was impressed by that. I dig this band..think I’m gonna pick up a cd :)

    Cool idea, but the problem with these type of multi-media sites is the amount of time that they take to load.

  • timmah

    seemed pretty “blah” to me *shrug*

  • Gaia

    Hmmm, i reckon there is some good progressive thrash. Nevermore?… Voivod could be considered as prog thrash.

    need a second guitarist badly and, maybe a little vocal work, at least as a recording aspect. They would be a half way decent band at that point.

    • h8red

      Rusty Eye fuckin’ rules!

  • this band sucks

    in High Heels!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • h8red

    Track 11 is fuckin great!!!

  • PaxlRose

    Would’ve been better if all three cameras were filming the chick.

    • http://www.facebook.com/people/David-Hulsey/653830783 David Hulsey

      Agreed.

  • Mitchell

    Progressive thrash is so a genre. And this idea is awesome, gonna have to check the band out more later on

    I’m going to repeat what everyone else just said: Whaa? Why didn’t you mention the drummer is a chick that plays in high heels? Fucking crazy. When they play live they need a projector and “heel cam”. Seriously.
