Moby, Flaming Lips’ Wayne Coyne Casting Gimps, Bikers, Naked Skaters for New Video

Moby is gearing up for a new album — Innocents, due out in late September — with plans to shoot a music video in Los Angeles on Aug. 10. His co-star for the clip? Flaming Lips frontman Wayne Coyne. 

The electronic-pop pioneer posted on his website that they’re holding an open call on Aug. 6, specifying that he and Coyne are looking for extras to play the following roles:

S&M gimp rhythmic gymnast: “someone who is good at the ribbon and stick thing,” he elaborates in his signature all lowercase writing style. “preferably a male if such a thing exists. if not a women or girl with a flat chest.”

Roller skating ghosts: “ideally people who also would be ok with taking off their costume and get naked but not obligatory rollerskating dance ability takes preference.”

Obese bearded bikers in red Speedos, goth choir members and a punk rock brass band are also on the casting notice, along with roller skating ghosts and random party goers. 

To assure visitors to his website, he ends the note with, “p.s-these are real requests.”
