"GOOD WORK (IF YOU CAN GET IT)" MUSIC FILM RELEASED BY IKE REILLY TODAY!
June 16, 2010 
|
Ike Reilly music film shot at the old Libertyville High School featuring local students and an homage to one-time Libertyville resident Marlon Brando.
To celebrate the end of the school year and the beginning of summer, Ike Reilly has released a music film for the song "Good Work (If You Can Get It)." The tune "Good Work" is off of Reilly's latest album, the critically-acclaimed "Hard Luck Stories," and the film features members of the Libertyville High School Choir.
Filmed at Reilly's old high school in Libertyville, IL, and directed by Reilly's friend and collaborator Brooks Ruyle, the piece features Reilly as a janitor killing time in the school he once attended while an "after-after, party-party" rages elsewhere and summer begins.
Reilly, with bolt cutter in hand, rifles through lockers, wears students' gym suits and drifts alone through the school. In an apparent homage to Marlon Brando - who attended the same school and who Reilly claims was an inspiration to him - Reilly races down the hallways of the school on his 1974 Shovel Head Harley-Davidson as well. When asked about the motorcycle ride and its appearance in the film, Reilly said, "If you could drink beer and ride a Harley down the halls of your school, wouldn't you do it?"
Cheerleaders, pom-pom girls, choir members, coaches and lay-abouts all appear in the nostalgic party sequences which were shot on Super 8 and on 16mm film. This music film once again reinforces Reilly's place as an artist with an individual vision, a unique performer, and the rare combination of being both.

To coincide with the release of "Hard Luck Stories" and to celebrate St. Patrick's Day, The Ike Reilly Assassination has just announced a four-show residency that begins on March 16th and criss-crosses the Twin Cities throughout the week. Tickets for all of the residency shows re on sale now; information regarding where tickets are being sold is included below. All tickets are $12 in advance and $15 day of show.
Ike will perform solo at the Bryant Lake Bowl on March 16th. This intimate setting is a perfect place to share a cocktail with Ike as he tells stories and lies, sings and dances, and prepares the Twin Cities for the onslaught of rock to follow. On St. Paddy's Day, March 17th, Ike and the boys will return to The Turf Club in St. Paul. Says Reilly: "We've played in Dublin on St. Paddy's Day; we've played with the Pogues on St. Paddy's Day. But returning to the scene of the crime at the Turf Club is gonna be the shit. The Twin Cities have been a real haven for us, and the Turf is gonna be something else on March 17th." On March 18th, fans lucky enough to get tickets will get up close and personal with The IRA at the 7th St Entry at an 18 and older show, and The IRA will be joined by guests and luminaries for the final show of the Hard Luck Residency at the Triple Rock.
