Thanks guys!
Öwen: I chose this track for 2 reasons - a) popularity that it already has achieved (it is still a major clubhit in the darkelectro/goth scene 2 years after its release - dont ask me why!!) and b) because I will be talking to some major labels and wanted to make a very "MTV-friendly/mass appeal"-type video for my most mass-compatible song. Nothing is really set in stone yet, but now I got a good package of good live show, strong photography and professional videos to back up my act.
SocialNumb: yea, that's her - the other girl is my friend Eric's girl (he's the dude who drinks the beer in one scene) ... that's how it looks at my house every other weekend!
Metaltastic: the scene with Shawn (Ultimate MC) was purposely shot in a Busta Rhymes kind of look. The brunette dancer is my percussionist's girlfriend (professional dancer). And yes, the song is purposely made to be ultra commercial. It actually was a joke in the beginning but my old label said I should make the kickdrum harder and release it ... Most of the people in the video are people I know, either from clubs or from my circle of friends. A few have been from out of town cause they applied to the casting call and made it thru. The guy with the shot glass simply looks like that and always has! Check out a picture I took of him at:

KeithReyn: haha, totally! When I was thinking of a better look for Faderhead back in 2005, Eric and I looked through a lot of photos and I liked one of KMFDM the most. It was simply a look I thought I could pull off well, that actually could fit my personality AND that makes me look very different from real life. I know Stefan from the clubs here in Hamburg (he moved back to Germany last year I think), but I don't like either KMFDM's music or him on a personal level.
slayercannibalsuffohead: I think the difference is that in my case this is blatant club-electro with a cheesy/funny/sexy vibe. Kinda like Scooter in a more modern way. AttackAttack on the other hand paint themselves as these emotional, dark, disturbed, hardcore dudes who play serious music while looking like total dumbasses. I look like a total dumbass and it actually fits the music cause it's a party tune. Also girls never hurt - and the girl in the AttackAttack video at best reminds me of my neighbors mom ...
