The mighty Kleptones announced the Videotones project few days ago, this is a call in for video producers to pick a track from the Kleptones’ Uptime/Downtime album and to create a video for it. Your video doesn’t have to be a videomashup either, ya know – animation, live action, endoscapy, anything goes. This is the first video by Instamatic, mashing up The Day of the Locust with Guns n Roses, LFO, Chemical Brothers, Ken Russell, Emerson Lake & Palmer and Basement Jaxx.

The weekend is here, to create a Kleptones video is the ultimate fun project for the forthcoming days folks, go and cut!
