Attic Lights & David Gest The Full Story
It all started on a flight to Scotland. Within hours of a chance meeting between David Gest and the manager of Glasgow's Attic Lights, TV legend Gest was holed-up in the band's home town studio recording a memorable monologue he wrote in 10 minutes over their forthcoming single Bring You Down.
Released on July 21st 2008 through Island Records, the single will be accompanied by a rather outlandish and decadent video featuring Kev from the Attic Lights, David Gest and his entourage of the Little People Of Davidland and the Chinese Girls With Herpes.
Also making an appearance is a guzzerling alcoholic named Alke Hall who likes to bring her men down and a nutty hotel clerk named Prunetta Pitts (whose mother loved prunes!).
Kevin Sherry the lead singer of the Attic Lights said, "We are thrilled to be working with David Gest. He is a true television legend and he is great fun. He also produced the highest rated musical special in television history 'Michael Jackson: 30th Anniversary Celebration' - which is cool."
The video was shot in the luxurious surroundings of the Athenaeum Hotel in London. It was choreographed by Jeffery Daniels of the legendary soul group Shalamar, who has worked with Michael Jackson and Vanessa Williams. This video is unsurprisingly David Gest. It is a fantasy story which Gest gives his personal touch in a somewhat exotic and lavish affair.
Additionally David has requested the band to appear on his forthcoming musical tour of the U.K. which will play to more than 100,000 people in October 2008.
