Chuck the Bassist


Had filming for a promo video for Ai Otsuka today. Originally, it was supposed to be just her and her bad, but her usual bassist wasn’t available that day, and they decided to replace him with me instead. Why they would want to replace a skinny Japanese rock-star bassist with a big muscular black dude who’s never picked up a guitar (of any sort) in his life is completely beyond me, but the shoot was hilarious anyway. It was set at a beach resort, it was a warm and sunny day, and she was super cool to work with. She seemed to like me a lot. I was supposed to be wearing the wig in the picture, but at the last minute, she decided I’d look better with my typical bald self, so off it went. They promised they’d get the footage back to me (and from what people say this company is quite good about it) so I’m really looking forward to seeing it.
