Skipping Girl Vinegar - Chase The Sun
Australian band Skipping Girl Vinegar sent a hobo
monkey (Baker) to
the edge of space, in a low rent spaceship made from foam and gaffa
tape.
On the morning of Sat 27th Nov 2011, attached to a giant
weather balloon, Baker and the onboard camera soared to 110,000 feet (4
times higher than Mt Everest) capturing the rolling image that is now
part of this new film clip.
Reaching speeds of over 200kmh and
experiencing temperatures as low as -50 degrees Baker carried an Mp3
player beaming out the new SGV single 'Chase the Sun' and messages to
the Universe from the people of Earth.
