From the 2008 New Mexico Digital Archives!!

NMD filmed Round Mountain at Gig Performance Space in Santa Fe, NM.  As longtime friends of Char and Robbie Rothchild, NMD is exicted to make two videos available from this performance.

Venus in the Tower - See the amazing Char Rothchild play accordion and trumpet--simultaneously!

Goodnight, Animals - An old song from the Lizardhouse days, with Char digressing humerously about Lizardhouse playing this beautiful harmonic song at a South-by-SouthWest '92 "Goth Club" and being over-prepared.

NMD's most recent project is called HINDMOST. A full version of this 5 minute, animated music video has been posted at the Official HINDMOST IMDb.com page.

HINDMOST screened at the 2008 Santa Fe Film Festival. See the Official Website for slideshow and behind the scenes movie trailer.

Among notables in the crowd were Acadamy Award® Winning actor Alan Arkin.

Here's the official 2008 Santa Fe Film Festival description on project:

Hindmost is a short film about a band called HINDMOST currently on a galactic tour called: 'The One Song Tour'. The band lands their spaceship into a packed stadium, plays one song, then takes off.

Hindmost features brilliantly rendered animations by Jason Harris, and original jazz music written by Dan Otero (Guitar, Vocals) and featuring Colin Darby (Sax), Upton Ethelbah (Bass) and Miguel Velasquez (Drums).

Hindmost was inspired by the great guitar jazz compositions of Joe Pass and the sci-fi masterpiece Ringworld, by Larry Niven.
