Red Axes - Moonlight Ride
Red Axes recently unveiled their self-titled LP. Released via Dark Entries Records, the Tel-Aviv duo now take the opportunity, post-release, to present a new music video for album track "Moonlight Ride", paying tribute to their late friend and musician, Charlie Megira.
Niv (Red Axes):
"This song is a tribute to the late musician Charlie Megira.
Charlie and I worked together in a kitchen in the summer of 2011 and during that time, I got to know him well. He was a man of unique aesthetic and approach and had an amazing taste in everything. He was a one of a kind musician and an inspiring guitarist.
"On the day of his passing, I listened to Alan Vega, which he loved, and was a common musical thread between us. I wrote this song as an homage to Vega’s song, `Fireball`".
Boaz Goldberg
(Director of the documentary feature TOMORROW'S GONE about Charlie Megira, and the creator of "Moonlight Ride" video clip) :
"To my ears, Moonlight Ride is a perfect tribute to Charlie Megira. It's a song that manages to stay in the Rock-N-Roll zones through Charlie's lesser-known side, which is his fascination for Spacemen 3, Alan Vega & Top of The Pops Glam Rock. Most of the shots I put into the clip is stuff I didn't put in the movie. My ambition was to create a visual puzzle that brings up the unique energy of this song. It was also a huge proposition to do a collaboration with Red Axes, Thee Red Axes, beloved electronic-oriented duo who also digs-hard the hardcore of late Kim Fowley stuff haha! The idea to paint the subtitles in pink-red is an inspiration I took from an old VHS gig of Alan Vega, that I'm sure Charlie binged a lot before tatooing 'Alan Vega' on his arm".
