Sirocco spent the weekend working on a music video for the Oakland-based band Birds and Batteries. The treatment’s about friendship, courage, the supernatural, and universal oneness. It was also Sirocco’s first time utilizing green screen technology. It might get get crazy. Careful!

The video will probably be released in March, but expect some rad behind the scenes photos well before then.

Hey! Sirocco’s taking another trip to the South! This time we’re heading to the Oxford Film Festival in Oxford, Mississippi to screen our short film Red Moon! I’ve never been to Mississippi despite knowing how it’s spelled for almost all of my conscious life. I couldn’t be more excited over just about everything.

The festival runs February 9–12, 2012, so if you’re in the region, come enjoy Oxford with us! You can rest assured I’m definitely already planning a Barry Hannah seance.

We’re excited to announce that between August 5–31, Sirocco Research Labs will be operating our own Pop Up Shop inside of ReForm School on Sunset in Silver Lake. It’s for sure not to be missed. We’ve been posting some merchandise highlights over at our facebook page! It’s been so fantastic preparing for this shop, and to watch everyone else get ready, too. We’re really going for it. Everyone’s making the coolest stuff I’ve ever seen them make. For example, here’s what the Sirocco compilation DVD looks like:

You can buy that thing at the store! And other things, too! Other things include, but are definitely not limited to: Gym Bags, Muppet-style puppets, 12″ LP reissues, Audio Cassettes, Men and Women’s Apparel, Magic Powders, Holi Powders, Fake Groceries, prints, drawings, paintings, and so on. You *might* even be able to pick up a purity ring or two. But, we’ll see.

The opening reception is going to be held at ReForm School on Friday, August 5th. 7–10 PM. 3902 Sunset Blvd.

Bring all kinds of friends, please.
