- Nice short film shot on a rainy day in about 2000 at the Ace Cafe, London, starring Thomas Triton and Jake 'The Captain' Turner and directed by Chuka Umunna. The music is by dull band Starfighter X (seen playing tarot cards).
Whoa, what a Grand and cool video!
LOL! I was there during the shot of the inside scenes and i was asking myself what was going on...i stopped for the first time at the Ace Cafe on the way back to the Stansted airport from Reading, after the Rockers Reunion of 2002...
Great video!
What they fail to mention is the track on the jukebox was normally ' The house of the rising sun' by the Animals..
Loved it good music with it.
Great video of the Capt. and Thomas Triton, but wrong music in my opinion. Seems more like Mod sounds rather than a good Gene Vincent track.
Ha! That takes me back even tho' it's more now than then - cool stuff, keep it comming!
wow
that was really cool
i like that fellas jacket too
musics very good, nice guitar sound..suits this vid perfectly..like it
Hey guys,ignore the negative comms,it`s just good fun and very nostalgic.
Not too far off the way we were!
NICE ONE !
The best shot would have been the bend on the iron bridge and show the speedo touching the ton.
In the days of no crash lids quite a few came a cropped into the railings.
No Comment on the music.....
@elbuccanero i have a shortcut to this vid on the computer and have watched it many times. you could not have picked a better song. i will be listening to it thru my wisconsin winter while waiting to come out to play once again. great job shooting.
i think its great man, long live the ACE....
You deserve an oscar!
Very british, racing in the rain. Came to cabo da roca, it´s sunny all the time!
I like this.. good video and good sound.. Would almost have fitted into Quadrophenia
Ok, but make few more km (800) and came to cabo da roca in a sunday morning!
True
You know that's not a bad idea - or maybe the Cabo de Gata, down near where they made the Spaghetti Westerns!
I'm not sure my '98 Triumph Daytona would beat my '68 Norton Atlas around public roads. I know which is more fun.
Ah for fucks sake - The Fool is a tarot card - I was having a bit of fun!!
I still regret I missed the shooting!
I want to download (purchase) the tune and add it to my shop CD for when I work on my bikes- can anyone toss me a link?
They really captured the visuals of the cafe culture feel, in one yanks opinion.
There's only a few yards before you reach the A406 slip road and the lights. Probably manage 60 then .......
What year did the North Circular change?
Oi Jimmy, I think your little sister wants her scooter and her perfume back!
Starfighting-X
@ShibariShamster would you care to provide video examples of your easy high speed filming technique? I will be sure to pass them on to the director.
Music sucks, but have to admit i felt a bit of nostalgia when i saw the cafe' racers outside the ace. I noticed no mods were there
@randalt63 The Captain (blue eyes) won - we wanted to have a major bloody crash at the end where I died (red eyes) but the budget (zero pounds) wouldn't stretch to that!
Once you grow up and have dosh, you ride and appreciate both, and the fact that modern marketed music generally applies suction to assholes, much like the old shite, but you have at least two now. And this is quite good. (Good original feeling and tune, lyrics are quite lyrical, and you only did it get sky hi. I found it via video search. The vid's cheezy as hell and has the Ace, Norton and Triumph in the rain no less! Loveit) Sky high high high. I'm wondering what happened to the drummer's hair. I hope it's alright. No helmet.
@deaddoc damn right!
Thomas, howdy!
No, but I did a double take first time I read about the MP!
Is the director the same Chuka Umunna who's now an MP?
which tarot deck are they using
well who won?
Point the needle to the count of zero
JP, could be but I'm kind of partial to the drummer.
Only did it to get sky sky high high. I want to complain that a Norton was not purely represented. Seems these kids today will make a video of just about anything. Glad it was this..
@pmay222 at least we don't ride Yamaha!
@pmay222 Phil Read rode Yamaha : )
When you sober up you could consider looking up Italian Tarocchini and French Tarot - both games which you play with tarot cards.
It seems you are The Fool...
Or you could just come get drunk with us.
@elbuccanero ride fast duh
who is the band
Great video of the Capt. and Thomas Triton, but wrong music in my opinion. Seems more like Mod sounds rather than a good Gene Vincent track.
+Ton-Up/Rockers Qudrafinia screwed everyone up. Bloody hippies!
Anything Miscellaneous TV I agree. It's a good song but the sound of it as well as the appearance band is out of place
They only did to feel good.
