September 2009, CHUNKmedia began production on a local music documentary called Weekend Warriors and released it in June 2010. It included Avenmore, Blackwater Valley Songs, Brandon John Foote, Burning Alexandria, Doctor! Doctor!, Hush Hush Sweet Charlotte, Kissyface Fashion Faux-Pas, La Dispute, onlytheashesremain, Please Promise, The Corn Fed Girls, The New Scum, and Their Teeth Will Be Of Lions.

Recently they decided to make a second documentary, while having more time to focus on editing, getting more/better footage, and getting more bands involved. It should be completed and released on DVD by sometime this fall and entered into a few film festivals shortly after.

Participating bands in part 2 include Analecta, Arson Party, Brothers, Discerned, Dr. Device, Forget The Times, From The Ropes, Ghosts of the Great Lakes, Infinite Design, Jeremy Cronk, Please Promise, Pope of Dope and the Ministers of Mayhem, Protected Left, Sleepeater, Their Teeth Will Be Of Lions, The Penguin Collector, Three Mile Island, TimeLapse, and Traitor. Suggestions are always welcome for bands/musicians and shows to shoot at.

Most of the bands involved are located in the Kalamazoo area (although, they would like to extend further) and most of the footage will be shot at local venues around Kalamazoo.

The next shoot is this Friday at the DAAC in Grand Rapids, where they will be recording Brothers, From The Ropes, and TimeLapse. CHUNKmedia members Jared and Lisa’s band, The Penguin Collector, will be playing as well. Saturday, they will be shooting Ghosts of the Great Lakes at Kindleberger Rock The Park in Parchment.

Here are some unedited videos from the last show they shot at Louie’s Trophy House Grill.
