Union, Ky., Alternative poppers Philosopher’s Stone took the crown at last November’s Legacy Rocks band competition in Newport, and the grand prize included a music video by Bob Mills of Mills Films in Edgewood. Six months later the final product has arrived, and it’s in the form of a slick, professional-looking DVD.
The video itself is for the song “Paint” and features the band hanging out in artistically lit stairwells and goofing around with friends, keyboards and picture frames. There are also plenty of shots of them playing at the York Street Cafe and on the roof of a Cincinnati building with the Carew and Fifth Third towers in the background at either sunrise or sunset (my directional orientation skills are way too pathetic to allow me to say for certain).
Philosopher’s Stone celebrates the video release with a show at York Street Cafe at 8 p.m. on Saturday. $5.
