Yes, I’m featuring a straight band on the QMH Blog…:) I just
found out about the video by the Washington DC band Bye June, and it’s creative
and wonderful. The band consists of lead singer/songwriter Gil Kline, drummer
Gunner Sledgeski and Daniel McGreal on bass, and they bill themselves as a “socially
conscious band.”
The song is called “Shades of Purple,” and Kline told
Pinkpaper.com about its inspiration: “I
wrote this song because my cousin is in 10 year relationship and he can't marry
his partner. They are so in love, and it angers me that politicians try to tell
other people who to love and spend their life with.” So the video uses “Swan
Pride” as a metaphor for the fight for marriage equality. Besides being
musically solid, the video features shadowography from Sati Achath, whose work
has been featured on TV, on “America’s Got Talent.”
