In a hedonistic decade of excess, “Under the Moon” tells the simple and innocent story of a handsome, sensitive and incredibly talented young man looking for love.

With backing from Fierce Blue Ascot’s label, Gold Lamé Records, the video was shot over a two week period in a little recording studio in Leicester. Famed British prop designer Nigel Nunn Taylor, commissioned to create the moon, handcrafted it from imported polymer laminate. The material was delayed at customs due to its volatile nature. A stand-in moon was required for the initial takes and if you look closely at the first few frames of the video, you might recognize the backside of a frying pan shining down on the band.

But wait, there’s more to the story. . . If you look closely at Ian Westbury (Fierce Blue Ascot’s lead singer) he unmistakenly resembles Dominic Keating, the star of Star Trek Enterprise. If you google “
Ian Westbury” you get a lot of links to the “new Fierce Blue Ascot’s Video and if you look hard enough you’ll find link to Dominick’s own message board.

On the board there is a ton of speculation as to what the real story is. There is even discussion on the Star Trek Fan Forums.

Actually, I know the truth but I’ll never tell. . . I have been sworn to secrecy. All I can say is that there is a reason that I posted this under my “Marketing” Category.
