I ride a bike naked in public in new Violent Soho video - "In The Aisle" :-)

[Dario Western]

This Brisbane band has a cult following with 90's rock music fans in America, though they are hardly known in Australia.  The band asked me to appear in the video for their upcoming single "In The Aisle", in which their director wanted me to ride around various parts of Brisbane on a bike wearing only my runners, a G-string and a helmet and handing out fliers for a dummy WNBR in Brisbane on July 13th.

Most of the reception I got was quite good, only two guys were really offended by it and they ran off as soon as they saw me try to approach them.  There were several kids in the places where we were filming and they all thought it was hilarious and they were filming me with their iPads and camphones.

The song is about social acceptance of people who are often treated as pariahs, and the guys in the band were aware of some of the shit that I copped from people on Time Off magazine's message board when I used to promote nudist events on there, so they thought they'd help out with my crusade by making it part of a video.

It should go to air on YouTube in the next couple of weeks, and will post the link to it when it does.  :)

Here's yours truly in the video casually cycling down various streets in Brisbane in the nude much to the bemusement and amusement of many passer-bys.  :-D

Share it on your social networking sites and help it become a hit!

Looks like the shoot was a blast. I like the song too.

I've blogged about the shoot on my new website http://dariowestern.com and to be honest I didn't think much of the song when I first got sent a copy by the director.  However, it's grown on me now and will be putting it at the top of my fave songs of 2013!  ;-)

The song is well on the way to going viral with over 9,000 hits in just four days of it being on YouTube.  Looks like it could be their biggest song!  Could I ask all of you a favour and share it on your Facebook pages, Twitter pages and email contacts?  Everyone should see this video, especially those who want to visit Australia and realise that Brisbane is not the stuffy gymnophobic city that some people seem to think it is - it's just a few politicians in the local council and state government who are.  Oh, and that stupid Hetty Johnson from Bravehearts!  :-S

Very cool!

I think your smile really adds to the video.  It emphasizes that your character is just genuinely trying to spread the word about a fun event.

Over 15,000 hits now and counting!  I'm hoping that the song will enter the Australian Top 40 (as well as eventually overseas).
