Explode into Colors Explodes in the Portland Art Museum
As we started to polish up the next episode of the Penny Jam (our ongoing video series), it occurred to me that we hadn’t posted the most recent episode, number 24 featuring Explode into Colors.
It’s been getting some loving on the internet, and for good reason. Explode into Colors brings the energy like a bobcat in a burlap sack – and in this case they brought it four or five times over the course of the shoot – and from what they told us it’s one of their more technically and physically challenging songs. We filmed it in the Grand Ballroom at the Portland Art Museum, where just the night before John Scofield played during the Portland Jazz Festival. I couldn’t help feel really lucky to have access to such a great space. Then I cried. Then I stopped and we filmed this great video. Enjoy!
