LUCKY TOWN – THE WILD MUSIC VIDEO WEST
‘No man should have cowboys boots in his wardrobe. That’s fair enough, isn’t it? Unless you’re a cowboy, of course.’
A quick draw does not have to be accurate
L ucky Town is the name of a movie location outside Vienna that emulates the Old Wild West. My dear friend Stefan Tauber shot a music video there and asked all his friends to act in it. That meant donning authentic costumes, wearing vintage hair-dos, showing dirty fingernails, rotten teeth and all. I only agreed if I could play the part of the undertaker. I wore a three piece wool suit, and feeling compelled to method act I insisted on wearing flannel longjohns underneath all that. Naturally, it was the hottest day of the summer with temperatures breaking the unbearable threshold of 40 degrees Celsius. So much for method acting. Luckily I brought my still camera with me to take a few snaps. But I unfortunately forgot to bring the mobile air condition unit. All in all, it was a sweaty affair.
