Dance Choreography: Nicola Dunn
Production Co-Ordinator: Kirk Maxx
Driver: Lee Charallah
Artist: Jester Jacobs
Track: Blap
Label: Organised Mess
Just when you thought it was safe to walk the streets not smelling like a festival toilet after a solid night of teeth clenching water bottle draining dance heads have had their wicked way with you, check out the new video for our friends over at Organised Mess. Jester Jacobs gets up to his usual shit in this stonker from his Mental Disorder album, and as usual we spent low so the boys can all have christmas presents this year. We’d like to point out that those are orginal super soakers from 1996 so as usual with Roach, you get the GENUINE. Have a watch, see how you feel, cause we can tell you that this video won’t make you feel like you wasted 3 minutes of your life. That’s a Roachy PROMISE.

With Imicus - Viseral all set for Scuzz release this month, now would be a good time to take stock over whats happening at Roach Productions.
In a nutshell, we’re taking some time off. With Jester Jacobs, idreaminmetaphors and Castrovalva all slated for video releases within the next 3 months, plus the super secret BBC Three pilot we’ve been working on, and of course the adverts we’ve made for John Parkin’s F*ck It, oh and then there’s our pre-production on our return to the film world…..
Basically, our hands are totally full at the momment.
That doesn’t mean you shouldn’t get in touch, we’ve been talking to some fantastic artists recently, and we’ll always want to work with artists we enjoy being around with tracks we believe in. Just don’t expect us to turn round a video by next week!
We’ll be returning to the fold in February 2010 once our current projects have been finalised and released. Keep your emails coming, we’ve always got our ears open to the next genius idea.
Much love from Roach, and I hope you all have a truely grimey Christmas.

Roach Productions has just finished creating the artwork for Leeds based genre-avoiders The Final Sigh.
The band wanted concept artwork that would be used to brand all of their media and most importantly, make them stand out from all the other hundreds of bullshit tight tee shirt waving bands who annoy the snot out of us every day on all various ’social’ networking sites. At Roach we love textures, and now we really love westerns.

Produced by Kyle James-Patrick
Director of Photography & Colourist: Ricko Roach
Directed by Danny North
Artist: Chickenhawk
Track: I Hate This, Do You Like It?
Label: Brew Records
As an experiment to the limits you can take a £1000 budget, Roach took a break from the trend and allowed an outsider to direct this beast of a video. With over 200 participants in the video it was a long, hard journey but with the band happier then pigs in a sewage spillage, another green tick in the box for Roach.
Now we’re very aware that some of you have said “that isn’t as Roach as we thought it would be”, well… screw you lot, we’re making another one just to please YOU. The “Bad VHS” version will be out on halloween. Try not to shit yourself.

Here at Roach Productions we are proud to announce a very exciting project. Our good friend John Parkin, author of F*ck It: The Ultimate Spiritual Way, has approved a script for a new web viral which will launch in October 2009 depicting a Priest who finds his ultimate spiritual solution. Filming will be set across London and we are now on the search for two key roles. An attractive male priest, aged 28-38 to play the lead, and also a beautiful femme fatale to provide the temptation. Email kyle@roachproductions.com with your cv and headshot (if you have a video it will put you at the top of the pile).
This viral will be used as part of a massive advertising campaign to promote the new release from John.
