Die With Your Chin Up is a 9-minute “short film” focusing on Chicago garage-glam trio Smith Westerns and the making of their sophomore album Dye It Blonde, among other things. Familiar indie rock-friendly NYC filmmaker Ray Concepcion did the whole thing. He’s never been afraid of an extended establishing shot. Also, the title offers good advice.
Dye It Blonde is out via Fat Possum.

Leave it to Ray Concepcion to make an exciting and always interesting band like Smith Westerns come off as disengaged and bored as a character in a Sofia Coppola movie.
My thoughts exactly. I got pretty bored just a few minutes in.
