Muse have gone all Clint Eastwood in their new Joseph Kahn-directed six-minute epic promo video for new single “Knights of Cydonia.” The expansive rock track sees prog-pop trio Muse playing as holograms in a bar while scenes include soaring eagles, light sabres and slow motion duels and kung fu moves. There is also a love and betrayal and death by gallows storyline, with the love interest galloping scantily clad through the Californian desert on a unicorn. The mini-movie filmed in California, Romania and the UK pays homage to Star Wars, Barbarella and Evil Knievel – all at the same time. Director Joseph Kahn previously directed Britney Spears' “Toxic”, picking up a Grammy award in the process. You can watch the incredible video here: Windows Media - lo / hi Real Media - lo / hi Muse are currently on tour in the UK, they play in Birmingham tonight, and at the following venues: Birmingham NEC (November 15) Nottingham Arena (17) Sheffield Arena (18) Newcastle Metro Radio Arena (19) London Wembley Arena (21/22/23) Support on all dates comes from female fronted indie prog group, The Noisettes. “Knights of Cydonia” is released on November 27, on Warner Records.
