J.Crew Shoots The Rassle in Suits
The gentleman of The Rassle don't typically wear suits. "We're a rock-and-roll band," says drummer Erik Ratensperger. His lead singer, Blair Van Nort, chimes in, "I don't think we'd ever actually wear suits on stage. Well, unless we were playing Radio City Music Hall or something." Despite being "jeans and t-shirt kind of guys," this Brooklyn-based foursome--consisting of former members of the Virgins and Young Lords and the Takeover UK--seemed pretty comfortable in J.Crew's classic suiting styles, the Aldrich and the Ludlow. I mean, they were wearing them in 85 degree heat and barely sweating. That's got to say something, right? The newish band, which you can check out on TheRassle.com, was shooting a quickie video for J.Crew's e-commerce site today, and we got to hang out on the set. The video will launch the last week of September on JCrew.com:
