Portland, Starfucker Needs You (For a Mysterious Video Shoot on Tuesday)
Well, they especially need you if you’re a white dude and your pants size is 30 to 32. Hmmm, stunt doubles?
But if you’re young and hip you are also invited. Which, of course, is the entire LocalCut readership. Young, hip and with plenty of daddy’s money to burn, whiling away your free Tuesdays at video shoots. HOW I LOATHE YOU!
Okay, this is what I get for posting things at 4 am. But before I show you the MySpace bulletin that the dance party purveyors of Starfucker are using to recruit their super-army of young, skinny white hipsters, let me draw for you my prediction of what this video shoot is all about:
Yup. Nailed the whole plot right there. They’re going to have to change the whole video around just to prove me wrong.
More info as it develops. For now, if you’d like to be a part of Portland history in the making and you’re available Tuesday from 8 am to 2 pm, you best email the dude below:
we’re shooting our first video next tuesday morning into the early afternoon…
please read below and respond to the email address provided…
we need lots of people…

says:hey, this is josh from starfucker. i just wanted to say that we, especially i, didn’t write that casting call. i’m just now reading it for the first time. the people who are making the video wrote it i guess.
cause i wouldn’t say,
“…and going to a show of a hipster/edgy/popular/indie portland band.”
OR,
“Be fashionable and look sharp – this is a music video!”
ugh. whatever.
but i love your drawings casey! i’m going to steal them now.

i’m sorry, i was convinced that starfucker had nothing to do with the writing of this casting call notice when i read it, i should have made that clear in the post. i’ve met all three starfuckers and know that none of them would ever be crass about this whole thing. sounds like they just didn’t read the casting call thing all the way before posting it. please don’t hold it against ‘em, they’re rad dudes and not white supremacists or fashion snobs.
haha!

thanks for clearin that up…
casey, you should’ve just not admitted to the tracing thing…if you put yr drawing in a side by side comparison with the starfucker press photo, put it in yr portfolio, mail it to fox, get hired to do background characters for the simpsons, and draw in portland bands in every episode… pierced arrows drinking at moe’s or dat’r as professor frink’s lab assistants!!!!!

says:Hey, thanks for your interest in the casting. The casting call that was prematurely posted on myspace and craig’s list was actually a rough draft (hence the spelling errors etc.) and had yet to be corrected. Here’s what the post should have said:
Casting call: Extras – Music Video for Starfucker
Casting Men and Women in a music video for the band Starfucker. Especially looking to cast 3 body doubles for the guys in the band (caucasian, slender men height 5′9″ to 6′0″ and pant size 30 to 32 waist.)
Please appear to be ages 18 to 30.
Bring two changes of clothes and accessories.
Be dressed for a summer night and going to a live music show of a Portland band.
Don’t hesitate to show a sense of style and have fun with it, this is a music video!
Wear dark colors – black – as a base color. Add accessories in solid colors or subtle prints. (orange, blue, green and pink are ok. no red or stripes)
Call time is 8am on July 15th. We need you from 8am till 3pm. This is negotiable if you are able to stay for at least 4 hrs. Please be on time, upbeat, positive and able to take direction.

p.s. starfucker is pretty rad. i’m relieved that they didn’t write the press release.
