30-Jan-13 – The rock band that named itself after Chicago’s Marina City has released its first music video. Falling Up & Breaking Down was filmed on November 11, 2012, and uploaded to YouTube on Wednesday.

In the four-minute-ten-second video, a fight breaks out at a basement party full of twenty-somethings. The loser of the fight comes back later for a rematch and even after kicking his butt, is generous with his opponent.

Anastasia Basche

Anastasia Basche, a film student working toward a Master of Fine Art at Columbia College, directed the video. In 2012, she received Columbia’s Albert P. Weisman award to create Frankenkinder, a short film about a green baby. No, we do not mean “eco-friendly.”
