A REALLY COOL IDEA FOR A BAND WEBSITE
Tuesday, November 10th, 2009 at 3:00pm by Vince Neilstein
Check 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.

You’re shitting me!!! She’s playing drums in HIGH HEELS??!!??!!
first thing I noticed. haha
Exactly. What the fuck?
Ditto here
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.
As well as a skirt.
ha shit i was gonna say that 2. pretty br00tal if u ask me lol
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.
That’s hot.
PLUS she’s singing as well. just wow.
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.
seemed pretty “blah” to me *shrug*
Hmmm, i reckon there is some good progressive thrash. Nevermore?… Voivod could be considered as prog thrash.
Coroner
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.
Rusty Eye fuckin’ rules!
in High Heels!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Track 11 is fuckin great!!!
Would’ve been better if all three cameras were filming the chick.
Agreed.
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.
About Damn TIME someone paid attention to Rusty Eye!
Fuckin love ‘em
