With the release of the brilliant clip for
Danko Jones' I Think Bad Thoughts, the
Diamond Brothers have completed the star-studded
Below The Belt video trilogy which has the look and feel of a big screen Tarantino-esque crime thriller. The cameo appearances of bass-bashing music legends
Lemmy from
Motörhead and
Mike Watt (
Minutemen,
Stooges) certainly raise the cool factor but the real masterstroke is the inspired against-type casting of
Elijah Wood and
Dancing With The Stars leaderboard topper
Ralph "Karate Kid" Macchio in key roles alongside the exceedingly versatile
Selma Blair,
Frank Drank and rising star
Jenna Malone in addition to the group members themselves. There's actually more intrigue, clever character development and cinematic excitement in these three short promotional videos for Danko Jones'
Below The Belt (Aquarius/Bad Taste) album than most mega-budget motion pictures coming out of Hollywood. In fact, the Diamond Brothers should consider turning it into a full-length feature film before
Guy Ritchie swipes the idea.
