We Speak To AV Super Sunshine About Latest Single, ‘Scarecrow’, And All Things Supernatural"},"content":{"rendered":"\n

We recently wrote about AV Super Sunshine’s latest single, ‘Scarecrow<\/a>‘, and we’re pleased to announce that the track is currently #17 on the DRT Global Rock Airplay chart. There’s a lot about ‘Scarecrow’ that felt like it came from more than just AV’s imagination – clearly it was written from personal experience. With that in mind, and because we enjoy chatting to AV, we took the opportunity to speak to him and find out some more.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hi there, thanks for speaking to us today! I’ve really enjoyed your single, ‘Scarecrow’, and the video is quite appropriately creepy for spooky season! How did you come up with the concept for the song and video clip?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Philomena and myself, believe it or not, had a ghost problem with all sorts of scary things happening.\u00a0We tried quite a few different things to get rid of them.\u00a0One of the things we tried was putting ghost mirrors up above all the outside doors to trick the ghosts.\u00a0They sell them at Asian grocery stores.\u00a0The belief is that if the ghost sees its own reflection, it thinks it\u2019s another ghost and gets scared and will leave.\u00a0The ghost’s reflection acts as a scarecrow of sorts.\u00a0Ultimately, it didn\u2019t work so we moved.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s where I got the idea for a song about using a scarecrow to scare away ghosts and demons.\u00a0The \u201cpop mix\u201d video clip just fell together.\u00a0After I posted it, filmmaker Jared Sagal saw it and begged to do a video for the song.\u00a0I sent him the full band mix and that\u2019s how the \u201crock mix\u201d video was created.\u00a0Both the \u201cpop mix\u201d and the \u201crock mix\u201d ‘Scarecrow’ music videos are available for view on our YouTube channel<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tell us about your experiences with the supernatural. Were you always a believer?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Probably since I was a small child.\u00a0In high school I had a friend who bought a copy of Robert Monroe\u2019s \u201cJourneys Out Of The Body\u201d.\u00a0Basically, that book is a guide to astral projection.\u00a0\u00a0My friend and I would share our experiences out there.\u00a0\u00a0Having someone to compare notes with really helped the learning progression and the result was that we got good at it.\u00a0Ultimately, I had too many bad experiences which were pretty scary, so I approach it differently now.\u00a0I could tell you some pretty freaky experiences and stories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We last spoke to you about a year ago, with the release of your album ARTROCK<\/a>. What’s been happening since then, what have you and the lovely Philomena been up to?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Actually, I never dropped the full release of ‘ARTROCK’.\u00a0That\u2019s because it\u2019s a record of radio singles.\u00a0We have dropped six tracks to radio so far, the last being ‘Judas’ this past March.\u00a0I was going to drop it with the next single, however, after the pandemic ended, I decided to switch it up and go back to dropping the record I shelved when the pandemic started, which is ‘Candyland’, and its accompanying ‘Candyland Remixes Volume 2’.\u00a0We dropped ‘Candyland Remixes Volume 1’ back just as the pandemic was starting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It didn\u2019t make sense to drop ‘Candyland’ and the accompanying dance remix record ‘Candyland Remixes’.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
