THE MORE I SEE shot their very first video on the original Star Wars sets!
From Century Media:
The
force is with British band THE MORE I SEE (TMIS), who premier
their first-ever music video today on Vevo. The video for "The Eye That
Offends" was shot on abandoned sets from the iconic first Star Wars
movie and is the lead track from their upcoming new album 'The
Disappearing Humans,' set for release October 1 via Century
Media/Earache Records in North America.
"The
Eye That Offends" was filmed in the Tunisian desert in Northern Africa,
on location at the childhood home of Luke Skywalker, and where we are
first introduced to Obi-Wan Kenobi in the Star Wars movies. Long-since
abandoned, the movie sets have been remarkably well-preserved by the
arid desert heat.
"I'm a massive fan of Star
Wars, so to visit Tunisia and film at some of the greatest film
locations ever was really special," says TMIS frontman James Cluer of
the video, which was filmed with director Phil Berridge of Creative
Junkie Media. "It was such an incredible experience to perform at the
mighty canyons of the Jundland Wastes ('Episode IV: A New Hope'), where
Luke Skywalker and the droids R2-D2 and C-3PO first meet Obi-Wan Kenobi,
as well as the city of Mos Espa ('Episode I: The Phantom Menace'), and
especially Luke Skywalker's home - Lars homestead ('Episode IV: A New
Hope'). It was a childhood dream of mine to see the igloo, and to get to
film there with the sun setting behind us was something I'll never
forget!"

To coincide with the release of
the video, TMIS are also releasing a three-track EP exclusively on
