Hip Gets the Right Stuff from The Right Brothers!

This Sunday, September 24th Hip in Detroit will be sitting down for our next M-1 Studios sponsored podcast to talk all things Detroit with Andrew Miller, Al Casinelli and Jamin Townsley, better known as The Right Brothers. This indie video production company has filmed some of our favorite music videos for acts like Flint Eastwood, Passalaqua, Bevlove, James Linck, Jamician Queens, Tunde Olaniran and more. Lately, they have even branched out and started to make commercials for some of Detroit's coolest companies, including Brooklyn Outdoor, Detroit is the New Black and Third Wave Music. They even documented Nick Cave's recent residency in the city and did some work for High Times! If you know these guys you know that they are fun, friendly, and behind the rebirth of Detroit in so many ways. Plus, these dudes are at every show and event in town. It's easy to spot Andrew shooting stills at all of the shows and there is a good chance that Al might have brought the lights that you see on stage for the night to make it a real party.

Passalacqua Presents ‘The Baptism’ a short film created by The Right Brothers Featuring SYBLYNG & Hygienic Dress League

Passalacqua, The Right Brother, and Syblyng (a.k.a. Jax and Seth from Flint Eastwood) are three groups of people that have been blowing my mind lately. They are some of the most talented, creative, passionate, and hardworking people that I have ever met. They are reinventing how I think about music, art, community, and Detroit.

They released a new video this week for the song "Baptism" off of Passalaqua's upcoming album Church. The video was shot here in Detroit and features real live footage of the water protest that took place in the city on July 10th. The video is very powerful for so many reason. You have to see it for yourself to understand what I mean.

The punk rocker and activist in me almost cried when I finally watched the finished product. I don't want to comment on the video too much because I think that it is one of those pieces of art that we all need to interpret for ourselves. Kudos to everyone who worked on this project, you are the future of music, art, and Detroit.

If you liked what you saw, you should check out a few other videos that The Right Brothers put out this year, including "Get This Money" by my favorite artist James Linck and "Lights On Rider Anthem" featuring Doc Waffles, Eddie Logix, James and more. That song gets stuck in my head for days every time I hear it.
