Many of you may not of heard Make Good Your Escape and sadly, many of you never will as the band are now defunct, splitting up back in 2007 due to label and money troubles. Just because they no long exist doesn't mean they don't qualify for our Video Of The Week though and so proudly and lovingly, we offer to you one of their finest moments in their all too brief career.

As previously announced, the first single to be lifted from Lightspeed Champion's forthcoming record 'Life Is Sweet!

Heather Graham, Steven Seagal, Bruce Willis, Russell Crowe, Jennifer Lopez, David Hasslehoff, Jennifer Love Hewett. All names which lie moss-covered in the graveyard of abortive attempts for actors to turn musician. We won't even go into William Shatner, let's just say he has an appropriate surname.

We've said this before and we'll say it again: A band should not playthe day of / after they have flown across the world. Of course, this is notalways possible, but is it really that difficult to book an extranight in a hotel in order to defeat jet lag and make it so the audiencecan't immediately tell that they are walking zombies?
