Wayne Coyne and Moby want nude actors for new video shoot

It’s a red letter day for the weird, wonderful, and the nude of Los Angeles: electronica svengali Moby and Flaming Lips frontman Wayne Coyne are casting a motley menagerie for a video shoot.

The call went out on Moby’s website, and the shoot in question is presumably for the collaborative track ‘The Perfect Life’ from his upcoming album, Innocents, due 30 September. Other contributors to the record- his latest since 2011′s Destroyed.- include Skylar Grey and Cold Specks.

The pair’s wishlist included such staple roles as an “s&m gimp rhythmic gymnast” and “2 obese bearded bikers in red speedos.” In a move that now looks rather vanilla in comparison, Coyne is to release an adult-themed “full-color psychedelic fantasy in classic comic book form.” It’s a wonder he found time to record a video for new single ‘Turning Violent’.

Auditions are taking place today in downtown L.A., with the video shoot scheduled for 10 August. See the full casting call below:

“a drunk king: guy with beard age 35-50

s&m gimp rhythmic gymnast: a rhythmic gymnast dressed in a leather s and m gimp costume complete with mask with a zipper mouth. someone who is good at the ribbon and stick thing. preferably a male if such a thing exists. if not a women or girl with a flat chest.

8 rollerskating ghosts: any gender. roller skaters not rollerbladers, ideally people who can roller dance and do a choreographed routine, perhaps a roller dance crew if such a thing exists. ideally people who also would be ok with taking off their costume and get naked but not obligatory rollerskating dance ability takes preference.

12 goth choir members: in their 20‘s mixed sex and ethnicity. don’t have to be able to sing but need to lip synch and be able to move with a little it of rhythm as the choir will move their hands in unison. they should be goth. ideally they are comfortable with nudity.

2 obese bearded bikers in red speedos: pretty self explanatory there. need to be able to ride a motorcycle, ideally they have their own.

20 random party goers who are comfortable with nudity: all ages. freaky fun, people who are cool with dancing and getting naked. existing costumes and skills a plus like hula hoopers, crunk dancers various random talents, jugglers etc, trick rope twirlers, stuff of that weird talent show speciality nature a plus. comfortable with nudity is the main requirement here.

a punk rock brass brand: maybe this pre- exist in la? like a steam punk anarchistic brass band?

p.s-these are real requests..

thanks,

moby“
