Hope you enjoyed, I know I messed up on a couple of small details, it was my first real video editing experience, something I hope to continue if I get inspired again!
Great documentary about a fascinating band, in an obscure ish scene. Great job friend. I hope you make more of these and thanks for turning me on to a great band. FYI one of the things that works is you use clips of the actual music, which should be legal and allowable because you are using it in a critique. Maybe ask the music lawyer member what the exact rules on that are. I’ve watched other band documentaries where they don’t use any of the bands music which I assume is due to YT rules primarily. I imagine it’s a lot more work to do the sound design as well, but it I really like that part of it. 🌊🌊🌊🏄♀️🏄♂️
Found this band because Numero reissued Grow as a teaser that they were reissuing the album, then listened to that when it came out. Really fantastic shoegaze that stands out when compared to the rest of the bands of the time, especially in the US. They've influenced me a lot, and are part of the reason that I started making shoegaze. They're so underrated. Great video!!
They were just way ahead of their time, and definitely one of the pioneers of shoe gaze. Was very lucky to have gotten to enjoy them in the 90s. Great documentary
Good mini doc on one of my favs! I was in a shoegaze band called Stillmotion that existed during the same time as MC. We met them one time in Rochester, NY where we were based. We had opened for Catherine Wheel, and MC may also have been on that bill. I just can't remember. Stillmotion had a somewhat similar story/ experience in that we really gave it our best shot, but we were in an even more unlikely city, and never got a record deal with the exception of a 7" put on on Word of Mouth Records in LA. We opened some shows for some other bigger bands, recorded some EPs, and had some help from an A&R at Def American (now American) Records. But as grunge blew up, shoegaze faded.
Thank you for watching, wish I was a crush fan sooner, I would have loved to have a conversation with you about it, this might sound crazy but I think the day you retired from Waldorf was the day I went home and started the documentary, strange world
As a REAL music lover I have to say that strangely I’m glad they never got a chance to sell out or get crappy. I think you real underground music lovers know what I’m talking about. It’s like turning on the common commercial radio station and hearing The Magnetic Fields. As a fan of The Magnetic Fields I’d be super pissed off
This is fantastic, one of the absolute best bands to EVER come out of Detroit..yes, I said EVER. I remember seeing them live back in the day..people started tossing pennies on stage during penny for love, Dave starts picking them up, as the song ended , he says “cool, I think I have enough here for a 40 ouncer” 😂😂❤
Hey thanks for this. I heard them on college radio when I was like 14 in 94 and was hooked. They kinda disappeared and we’re always a mystery to me. Good to see they’re getting some due attention!
Deep cut! I only know them because my old man must have seen them a hundred times in the 90s. I've never seen any flyers or references to them in any venue or record shop in Detroit whereas you can find out what John Brannon had for breakfast on a cold day in 1994. Odd
Just heard about them today on Brooklyn Vegan. Love shoegaze and dreampop and I really fuck with this band's sound heavy. Thanks for this documentary. RIP David
Thank you Henry ❤ I have loved this band since 1995, when my roommate from Detroit introduced me to them. I’ve now got a tattoo inspired by the Sunny Pie 7” (which I also have!) - great work here ❤
I’m a tattooer and I’ve recently been wanting to do some kind of majesty crush tattoo, what does your design look like? I’ve been in search of inspiration for a while now
Great story, reminds me a little of a band named Dandelion Fire over in the '90s New Brunswick, NJ indie scene. They opened for some of the same UK bands, maybe during these same US tours, but were more Madchester influenced shoegaze. I think just one album was released, produced by Matt Pinfield of MTV 120 Minutes fame.
I agree. Find everything majesty crush and more on their instagram archive account, @majestycrushfan More recordings and footage will be uploaded with the bands approval and once I have access to it!
Funny, I knew Odell and the Hobey quite well. Met Dave (singer of Crush) when Odell was still in Spahn Ranch and I remember the David showing up and Spahn Ranch was practicing, and at the break the David hopped on a piano and started playing / singing and Odell and Hobey joined in… knew that was gonna be trouble. For me, I hated them if I’m being honest (not the music), but they / Singer/Dave were the ‘other women’ that stole key members of Spahn Ranch (my band at the time, I was managing them at that point, and we just got back from an east coast tour where they opened for Savage Republic, which was great to see live…), and yeah, he/they broke up the band, and that kinda sucked cause for me, yeah I still prefer Spahn Ranch over Crush any day.
My problem is with the quality of the production studios in Detroit between the 80s and early 90s. If you listen to that opening riff of Nirvana, 013:45 you can hear the difference in production value over bands like majesty crush and it’s really shameful. Detroit had the bands but lacked the Unity & Recording Quality
Good point, thanks for your perspective, I’m not an expert on production but certainly majesty crush’s production was weaker until love 15, I don’t think production was the issue by 1993, other issues arose for them
Anybody have a Dear Kate CD? I wanted to buy one to upload the songs online and I asked RocketGirl. They told me they'd let me know when they would restock but that was last year and I never got a response.

Wow, thank you for sharing that!
hardest business ever. Excellent work mate
First heard them in the early 90s on the University of Miami station. Played them for my 17 year old stepson tonight..,I think he liked it!
Bringing me back to listening to "Big Sonic Heaven" with Darren Revel on 89X🤩
Thank you, Henry - I fondly remember those days of St. Andrews and Majesty Crush - another lifetime.
Thank you for watching, wish I was a crush fan sooner, I would have loved to have a conversation with you about it, this might sound crazy but I think the day you retired from Waldorf was the day I went home and started the documentary, strange world
A genuinely underrated band (a word normally used to describe bands that are extremely popular, by people who only just heard of them yesterday).
Loved their song No 1 Fan back when it came out
effing incredible band

Haha, thanks for sharing that story!
You did awesome with this. I remember them from the start. It’s nice to see this
Thank You for your Work. I discover love 15 in 2015 and i never knew the story behind the band!

#1 fan their best track imo
Just heard about them today on Brooklyn Vegan. Love shoegaze and dreampop and I really fuck with this band's sound heavy. Thanks for this documentary. RIP David
I bough this record the day it came out and I played the fuck out of it

Glad a Spahn ranch fan found this, isn’t often I hear about the pre crush days with Hobey, Odell, and David

Money buys better production. Nirvana’s budget was probably 100x that of MC.
Anybody have a Dear Kate CD? I wanted to buy one to upload the songs online and I asked RocketGirl. They told me they'd let me know when they would restock but that was last year and I never got a response.
I’m looking for it currently, I’ll let you know when I find it
@@HenryBoyer313 yeah dude upload it if you get your hands on one.
@@beachbummer1 that’s the plan
@@HenryBoyer313 Thanks! Great video by the way.
It used to be on iTunes, but it looks like it's gone now.
