667's existence and motivation has not always been found in San Francisco's art community but in the self motivation, visual promotion, and relentless perserverance of san francisco's music scene.

While working on C RED BLUE J for the past 4 years locals bands Fuckwolf and John Dwyer's music (Coachwhips, OCS, Thee Oh Sees) not only coincided with my emotive intentions with the break down of my family in conjunction with the 2004 presidential election, but also helped inspire the editing style of the film.

During this time I was also inspired by Mike Donovan's videos for his band Sic Alps with Matt Hartman. Watching Mike's Intuitive editing, playfulness, and bare bones imagery all cut to a selection of Sic Alps tracks has made for me some of the best art / music videos I have seen for some time. Wanting to see more of these home grown videos bordering on art and music and to inspire more of these lead me to search out other video creations from other san francisco bands.

This set off a chain reaction in getting a hold John Dwyer's rarely seen Zeigenbock Kopf videos. Eric Landmark's gems such as his dead pan story telling of the Fuck You Garage with music by his band NUMBERS. Documentation of live shows included: Death Sentence Panda, Coachwhips, Pink & Brown, Bronze's 2008 Fourth of July Head Shave Performance in Marine Uniforms (think of Chris Burden's Secret Hippie), Kurt Kepplers collaboration with Chris Rolls of Shakes Gown, and more.

Costumes selected for 10 year Itch were inspired from the recent colorful performances of T.I.T.S.. T.I.T.S. is Kim, Wendy, Mary Elizabeth, and Abbey and their goal is to be sexy from a far and scary up front. T.I.T.S. regularly meets to practice, write songs,and cook dinner and sew costumes for shows.

The perfomances of Pink and Brown are tweaked music/art performances. Dwyer's homemade costumes from appropriated everyday materials both twist shock and thrill especially when the mask is made from a pink baby outfit.
