Well constant reader, it seems they did it again. Local space-rockers Engine have turned out another spectacular music video, and this time it’s science-fiction! 70’s black-and-white sci-fi with costumes, make-up and lasers. This will be the fourth video the band has made in collaboration with film team Moviesauce, and it’s creating quite a buzz. Using a drained portion of Lake Bistineau, the young adventurers have conjured a setting both creepy and otherworldly.

Let’s face it: most bands keep their music videos simple. Pick an abandoned building, set up some gear, and act like you’re playing. Maybe cut a few nature shots into the mix, and boom! Engine isn’t satisfied with the classic approach. They enjoy telling stories through their music by introducing characters and exploring different worlds.

In previous videos, they have taken us to several vibrant settings. Their first effort, “Lands of Sleep,” introduces a martian dreamscape with woodland creatures and a burning piano. Then, in “Tempest,” they follow the chronicle of shipwrecked pirates being led astray by lady sirens and their steampunk goons. This time the group have their sights set on Venus.

They pick back up with “spaceman.” His ship isn’t working and, by the looks of it, he has been here quite a while. Watch him hanging out his space laundry to dry. Poor spaceman. And worse, someone else is watching him. Space-bandits are hot on his trail and getting ready to strike. Will “spaceman” survive? On Tuesday, November 25, we will find out during Engine-sauce at the Robinson Film Center.

Engine-sauce will be held the tomorrow while everyone is in town for the holidays. That’s right! Thank goodness you can go. The evening will consist of a re-screening of all previous videos leading up to the worldwide release of “High Noon.” The band will perform live the first 30 minutes as folks arrive and will have a short Q & A after the screening.

This is certainly an exciting event for music and film lovers alike; we must not miss this one of a kind artistic celebration.
