Deee-Lite What Is Love live 1990
updated
Phil Gammage returns with a music video for Messages From the Grave. The song is from his upcoming album Redeemed (his ninth) which will see a Fall 2023 release. New York-based and native Texan Gammage co-wrote the song with poet David Schell. Phil is playing club and festival dates with his band throughout the year to promote the album.
The video was produced by PreFab International Ciné and filmed in New Orleans and Kingston, NY. It stars Phil and Albany, NY based actor / musician Michael LaPorte. Its music revolves around simple keyboards and acoustic guitar to create a moody and atmospheric vibe. The lyrics describe a female poet named Velma who passed away in the 1950s. A man sorts through her old photos and sheets of several poems that she had written. He questions who is left that remembers her and what meaning her life has now that she is gone. Finally, he is emotionally overcome by his memories of her and sees her in a dream.
“Messages From the Grave is a song about strong emotions evoked by the memory of someone you were close to that has left us. It questions who else would remember this person and who else would remember the body of work as an artist that they left behind. They are haunting thoughts put to a simple atmospheric melody.”
~ Phil Gammage

“We filmed this video one afternoon in Kingston, New York at the Green Kill artists space. I’m so happy to have had my friends Lara Hope (Lara Hope and the Arktones) and Jesse Towey join me as ‘actors’ for the video shoot. Their energy and sense of fun was contagious. It’s a feel good song and a feel good music video.”
Originally an outdoor video shoot was scheduled in New York’s Hudson Valley (Kingston), but on the day of the shoot, a huge nor’easter storm hit the mid-Atlantic and the shoot was fortunate to be moved indoors to the Green Kill artist’s space in Kingston. As we filmed the winds were howling and the rain pelting outside. Very apocalyptic indeed!

A lot of history in this place and some of it's not good.

Succinctly put, di Monti is one of the major legendary "underground" figures in the mid-to-late twentieth century American and European arts and show biz scenes. Unlike, for example, Neal Cassidy (whose trail blazed brightly in the literary Beat scenes of both American coasts), di Monti traveled freely between the music, literary, and entertainment worlds. Why he is not better known is a tribute to his willingness and inclination to stay out of the limelight and remain in the shadows. While speculation has arisen about his problems with authorities on two continents there is no evidence that he ever was arrested or served time for any crime. On the contrary, this story reveals that he is a military veteran who served his country proudly in Europe and Asia. His connections and friendships within the criminal world, along with his now mythically torrid romance with the legendary exotic burlesque dancer Lavonne St. John have all served through the decades to project an image that is and that surrounds Mr. di Monti as an enigma.
The Hollywood Years: Life in the Fast Lane explores the world of early 1970s Los Angeles, the Playboy Mansion, wanna be starlets, and washed up actors. The story that inspired Tarantino's film "Once Upon a Time in…”

"New York-based songwriter Phil Gammage returns with a new music video for his latest single “Lady Luck”. Filmed in and around the back streets, skid rows, and alley ways of America's Inland Northwest this past summer. It's a perfect snapshot of Gammage's dark brand of Americana blues and has a flawless swing reflecting the tumbling dice — igniting dreams and crushing hopes in equal measure."
