The Chase - Trumpet Music Video

For the video to ‘Trumpet’ I really wanted to showcase the energy of The Chase in their live performances and the way they win over their audience. I wanted a fun, chaotic scene that the viewer feels involved in. To take this further I wanted a light satire narrative that would seamlessly thread through the video. 

You only need to try it once and you’ll lose all your inhibitions and self-control. And that’s actually what happened when The Chase loaded up on their new single ‘Trumpet’, piled into The Marquis pub in Covent Garden, London, and instantly instigated chaos among real pub goers as well as members of other bands on the scene including The Rifles, San Quentin, Maze, JW Paris, The Skinner Brothersand A.R.T. The crowd brought the energy from the first take, and it turned into a great night with The Chase performing other tracks from their live set. 

Those scenes are captured in The Chase’s new video for ‘Trumpet’, which imagines a tongue-in-cheek scenario - what would happen if everyone’s favourite ska instrument proved to be so mind-alteringly addictive that it was banned? Within seconds of The Chase starting the song there’s madness wherever the eye can see: dancing on the bar, beers in the air, the pub’s excellently named landlord Tommy McGuinness leaping around like a lunatic. You might need to sneak off to the toilets to share some ‘Trumpet’ away from the glare of the meathead bouncers, but if something can bring this much happiness, how can it be wrong?
