Video: Holy Ghost! f. Nancy Whang and Juan Maclean, “I Wanted to Tell Her”

December 09, 2011


Deadhorse Films' Ben Fries, one of the talents we flagged in FADER #77’s roundup of video directors to watch, directed this clip for Holy Ghost's cover of "I Wanted to Tell Her," a track from Ministry's 1983 debut With Sympathy. The sparkling, pageantry-full video re-imagines a high-stakes competition scene from once-panned 1986 BMX movie Rad. Fries has collaborated with Holy Ghost! before, directing Alex Frankel and Nick Millhiser's dads in the detail-oriented "Wait and See" and "I Will Come Back," a shot-for-shot remake of New Order's "Confusion."

To celebrate "I Wanted to Tell Her" (download the track here), Holy Ghost! are giving away a sweet embroidered Members Only jacket, pictured below. The jackets were made for the band, but we've got an extra for a lucky fan. Enter to win it by telling us which Holy Ghost! video you love most and why (plus your real name and email address) in the comments. We'll pick a winner on Monday, December 12th.
