Fans Create New Pixies Video

(Radio.com) Want to direct a music video for the Pixies? Perhaps, you should record a clip of yourself lip-synching one of the band's songs and hope it goes viral. That's how Lital Mizel and Adi Frimmerman got their latest gig directing the video for the Indie Cindy track, "Ring the Bell."

In 2005, the two women filmed themselves lip-synching the Pixies' song "Hey" as a birthday present for Frimmerman's boyfriend and put it on YouTube. The clip ended up going viral at a time when people didn't even know what "going viral" actually meant. It's since racked up nearly 34 million views. "It's the most hits we have on video," guitarist Joey Santiago tells Radio.com.

That's why when the band finally got a chance to meet the two women this past June at a show in Israel, Santiago felt it was only right that they offer the two film students a shot at making an official video for them.

In the charming clip for "Ring the Bell," Mizel and Frimmerman get nostalgic and dumpster dive for buried treasures - boomboxes, VHS tapes, roller skates, bubble blowers and Care Bears - that remind them of their childhoods. These finds later end up as decor at the dance party they throw for all their Gen Y friends deep in the woods, away from the hustle and bustle of their everyday tech-driven lives.

Drummer David Lovering is a collector himself, telling Radio.com that he's been metal detecting since he was 12 years old and at 52 has amassed quite the collection of old coins, gold rings and musket balls from Revolutionary times. But while he enjoys these artifacts - his prized possession being a British coin, a 1724 Farthing, that he found in the woods where he grew up - when it comes to his band, he chooses to live in the now instead of the past.
