Collapsing Scenery stage all-female reboot of Lord of the Flies in new video for Randy Newman cover





Words: Sam Geary

The uncompromising NYC guitarist Don De Vore and LA singer Reggie Debris, collectively known as Collapsing Scenery, stage an all-female reboot of Lord of the Flies in new Kansas Bowling-directed video for their cover of Randy Newman's 'Let's Burn Down The Cornfield', which features James Chance on sax.

"I’d been a fan of director Kansas Bowling from afar, and we immediately clicked creatively when we met in person," says Debris. "Her idea was simply a gender flipped riff on Lord of the Flies. There are so many memorable set pieces in that novel, including the fallen paratroopers, which inspired the costuming for me and Don."

Collapsing Scenery play two dates in London, on April 16 and 17.
