69 Eyes "Kiss Me Undead" Fan Videos Now Online
Back in May, we told you that rockin' Finnish FEARnet faves The 69 Eyes were inviting fans to create their own music video to accompany the single "Kiss Me Undead"... well, those home-grown submissions are finally in, and the band has just set up their own YouTube channel where you can watch 'em all and pick your favorite. Hit the jump to find out more about the contest and get a little peek while you're here!
The "Helsinki Vampires" turned to their very devoted followers to contribute personal and quirky visuals for the latest single from the much-raved-about album Back In Blood, and fourteen aspiring filmmakers stepped up with their own offerings. Nuclear Blast Records set up a channel to host the entries, and the band has invited everyone to come by and do the old pick-a-star and leave-a-comment thing, with the highest-rated entry copping the win.
"If our music seemed to have inspired you guys, so are you guys inspiring us now," said frontman Jyrki69, commenting on how proud the band felt after seeing these visual tributes – which he describes as "underground art." The entries capture the look and feel of the band's own high-dollar, Bam Margera-directed "official" videos, but with a more personal touch. If you've got a thing for graveyards (especially those gothy New Orleans-style crypts), roses and black eyeliner, you'll go straight to your dark corner of heaven.
"We love every single video you have done," Jyrki declared. "But the final word will be yours."
