Party In The USA

16Jan10

Typically we run some sort of “bumper” transition video between the first set of music and teaching parts of our worship gatherings to intro the series or specific message. Well, we began a new series at the start of the year where we wanted to do something a little different – what we’re calling “live bumpers.” Basically just some real fun songs that people would be able to sing along with or at least laugh at while they said hello to one another. The goal was to keep things real up and “alive” for this series – so far its been a real hit! We run a real simple video loop in the background while the band plays: http://vimeo.com/8446257

Last week we played a short clip from Miley Cyrus, Party In The USA. I recreated some basics of the track in Ableton and then had our band play on top of the track. Drums basically played a sweet hats and snare groove, keys held a pad/organ, bass came in halfway through the verse and electric carried the hook. Enjoy.
