Last week we shot a video for Heavenly Bender track "You Can't Stop" at our rehearsal space in Brooklyn. This time Sean Donnelly directed. He came with a special rig that allowed him to throw stuff at the camera and shoot us through a fishbowl. In the video you'll see us attacked by cockroaches, sparklers, jazz hands and bubbles. Jack said it was like his ideal party circa 1996. Stay tuned for the completion of this video and the many others we're working on for the album.

Last month we stopped by WOXY in Cincinatti for a special radio performance and as always, DJs Mike and Shiv played great hosts. In honor of our third official hang together, we reworked some live faves and premiered a new Heavenly Bender track called "Lorraine." You can listen RIGHT NOW !

We played Bonnaroo last week. It ruled. Band faves included Black Keys, Ween, Spoon, Franz Ferdinand, The Slip and The White Stripes. Sean lost it at Girl Talk. Quote, "Jack, if you wanted to get laid at this festival, you shoulda been at Girl Talk." Sources reveal Sean attended a pants off party that was taking place on the Other Stage while Girl Talk spun the crowd to new dimensions of the mind and body. "Earlier in the day I wandered into a camping area and grilled burgers with his older dude who wrote a bandana and a Grateful Dead tank top; I think his name was Gary." [NC-17 rating. Story abbreviated. - Winston Nillson, Editor] If anyone has a photo evidence post it somewhere... This is what we looked like during the first show: Our line up was augmented by Joe Russo from the Duo on percussion and Mike Bones on acoustic guitar. You can see some Joe is this one.
