Marina City bad boys rock in new music video

23-Mar-14 – We think the rock band that shares a name with Marina City could benefit from an afternoon at a spa, or perhaps meditation, or listening to Jewel or Michael Buble – but once again, the boys from suburban Chicago get in touch with their inner bad-asses in a second music video that was released on March 18.

In the three-minute video for The Lost Boys, band members with hoods over their heads are dragged to an undisclosed location somewhere on Chicago’s south side, where they are cruelly forced to perform for a talent judge and his personal assistants (below), whose faces are not shown.

Wall Bug Films

Wall Bug Films, a Chicago production company, shot the video in late February. The song is off the two-year-old band’s second EP, Chimera, which will be released on April 22.

“We have put our heart and soul in this new EP,” the band wrote on its Facebook page. “We can confidently say this is the best music any of us have ever written.”

The music news site AbsolutePunk.net could not be clearer. “Fans of Squid The Whale or Gatsbys American Dream, you should dig these guys.”

With a new lead guitarist, Marina City has performed this year around Chicago and Illinois, Missouri, Oklahoma, and Texas. At SXSW in Austin, Texas, they did six shows in five days.
