Preparation for Dawn Shadforth's video for Fat White Family side project The Moonlandingz, featuring Rebecca Taylor from Slow Club, apparently involved lead singer Johnny Rocket (aka FWF's Lias Saoudi) staying up for five days before the shoot. Then he attached fried eggs to his nipples with clingfilm.His co-star Rebecca is not dressed quite as imaginatively, but looks like she's been up for a few days herself. She and Lias project a kind of uneasy chemistry that bring to mind Uma Thurman and John Travolta dancing to Chuck Berry in Pulp Fiction. If they had been in a Chinese restaurant cum karaoke bar in Dalston in the middle of a bender, that is. It was shot on film by esteemed DoP Robbie Ryan, who's recent feature work includes American Honey and I, Daniel Blake. But you just don't get to do this sort of thing working with Ken Loach.
