In other YAKUZA news, the band are planning to shoot a short film entitled Chicago Typewriter. Although they revealed few details, the band did mention that the film will not be a music video, rather a “creepy art film starring no one from the band”. The shoot will take place before they hit the road with THE POSTMAN SYNDROME. Editing will take place while the band are on tour, and they expect to have a final product a few weeks after they are done touring.
