The Brunnenmarkt-area in Vienna’s 16th district seems to be predestined for walk-around-the-block-sessions. When we filmed the Icelandic band Seabear there, we started at the Chelsea venue, went to Brunnenmarkt and then filmed a walking performance on the way back to complete the circle around the block. This time it’s the turn of Portland-based Ramona Falls, a new project of Menomena guitarist Brent Knopf. The starting and ending point is the same, but we just hop around another block. Brent, Cherilyn, Michael and Jean-Louise – who are also playing in Dear Reader – are in a good mood. They find a cardboard box for Brent to sit in during “Bellyfulla”, make friends on the roof of a coffee stand, where they perform “The Darkest Day” creepily staring at the camera, and finally play “I Say Fever” on their way back through the market and on the sidewalk towards the venue.
