You see how bass guitar and the bass pedal are playing the same rhythm? You'll hear it now, wait. I told all of yous, you especially, shitting on the bed all the time. You can't put rabbits on the bed and not expect them to shit on your bed. A chord like... Yeah.

I'm more of a singer. I write songs, words, lyrics. But I haven't put them to music yet. What kind of music are yous gonna be doing? Well, I-I don't know yet. What d'you mean you don't know? You have to know what you're gonna be playing. What are you into? I'm a futurist. What does that mean? Like, uh, no nostalgia. Not like your da's band. Not looking backwards, just forwards. Oh, cool. Like Depeche Mode? - Okay. - Or Joy Division? Right. Or Duran Duran? What do you think of them?

- Wow. - Can I help you? Is this the house where the colored lad lives? Four doors down. What do you think? How many black people do you think that lives on this shitty estate? - Do you know Ngig? - What's that? Ngig. My son. We're putting a band together. Does he play any instruments? Why don't you ask him yourself? We are putting a band together. I am the manager. What the hell is wrong with him?

Jury is out on which way those guys'll go. They're a lot of fun, and James Taylor is one of the most proficient bass players in the UK at the moment, giving them a funky edge.

# Moving on the floor now, babe # # You're a bird of paradise # # Cherry ice-cream smile # # I suppose it's very nice # # Her name is Rio # # And she dances on the sand # # Just like that river # # Twisting through a dusty land # # And when she smiles # # She really shows you all she can # # Oh, Rio, Rio # # Dance across the Rio Grande. # - Sped up a bit there at the end. - Really? - That sounded great. - Yeah, we sound deadly. Oh, lads, we're gonna be amazing.

Yeah, you should probably learn the lyrics. So you can lip-sync to them properly. We're shooting at the lane at the back of Quinnsworth. - You know Quinnsworth? - Yeah. This Saturday at 12:00. Cool. Well, I'll try and make it. What would I wear? I don't know. It's kind of like a Chinese theme. So, like, a kimono? Well, it's more like a riff than a song.

In fact, you should all be wearing makeup. Yeah, I'm not wearing any makeup. Relax, you're not even in the band. Yeah, thank God. I'm in the band, and I will not be wearing any makeup. Thank you. Why? You've got great lips. No, piss off. I'm not wearing makeup. Whatever. Those of you who actually care about the band and want to do this half properly, queue over there. Okay, so we're playing over here, and Raphina's standing over there against the wall. I go up to you and start singing to you. Make sure to pan up to her eyes when I sing the line, "She's got dangerous eyes." I think a zoom would be better. Okay, a zoom, whatever. Do you think I should have, lightning flashes on my eyelids when I close 'em? Can you do that? I can do anything. Cool. So then for the chorus, you walk off and I follow, circling you like when he's following her in the "Thriller" video. - Have you seen the "Thriller" video? - Yeah. Cool. So then I follow you up the laneway, keeping behind you, and then we'll swing around and get the angle in front. - Let's shoot it. - Right, let's shoot. It's just some kids filming something. What are yous filming, lads?

It's me da's show band outfit. So it's a gay band? Okay. Coming from the one who wants to look like the Village People. What's gay about the Village People? Hello, all. Sorry I'm late. I was out last night. At a nightclub. Jesus Christ, what are you all wearing? Yeah, we're just working that out. Um, maybe you can help. Well, who's your costume person? We don't really have a costume person. Well, who's your cameraman? Maybe he can make some of this work. Well, we don't really have... I'm the cameraman. Thought you were the producer. And the cameraman. Saving money at all costs, yeah.

That's really sweet. Oh. No, it's not about you. It's about another model I know. Oh. Right, well, I'll give it a listen, but I'm, like, really, really busy at the moment. You know, so I'll try. Yeah, you should. It's a, it's a good song. We've got a great team. It's a really good opportunity. Cool. So this Saturday at 12:00, then? 12:00. Sounds good. - Thanks. - Cool. Bye.
