Rabbits Full of Magic

The Spooks played a release show for their album Death From Beyond the Grave on Halloween 2008. There was a giant lighted blow-up ghost, some 3D horror footage projected on the band, and one-time demonic covers of Elvis's "Burning Love" and Johnny Cash's take on "Ghost Riders in the Sky". The "California Boys" video was filmed at this show, and edited under the influence of NiteTime cough medicine.






I've seen many things at a Spooks concern; cow tongues, beef hearts, pig heads, chainsaws, octopi, flaming vaginas, trash bags full of money. For a time King Khan was performing last rites during their shows. Get out your red-blue 3D glasses for "Now I Wanna Steal Your Soul", just above. Flash animation ghosts whirling around some dualistic vortex that emits flying bats.




The Spooks lie sleeping in undiscovered Egyptian tombs, but they will rise again some day.
