STOLEN LIGHTS, MISSING PANTS AND A DODGY ELEVATOR

…but we got it done. The video for our track "Unhypnotized" is now live! It premiered this weekend on the Amoeba Records blog along with a nice write-up, describing it as "lovely female/male vocal interchange over a film-noir-inspired riff, while the video sees the band seeming to de-brainwash a bunch of nerdy cult members with their extremely cool sound" before adding that "ironically the whole thing is quite hypnotic"More press and blogger action is coming in all the time from around the planet with, hopefully, still more to come once it's officially out.

Needless to say we are really proud of this one, and once again would like to thank director Arian Soheili for bringing the magic. And all our amazing friends and fans for bringing themselves. It really turned out the way we imagined, and even a bit better. Despite the fact that yes, we did have a very expensive light stolen from a Downtown sidewalk, and yes, my friend Curt was missing his white trousers and Vanessa was a hero and scored some around the corner. And the elevator got stuck. But that's for the "Behind the Scenes" documentary. In the meantime enjoy the end result here (click on the link to go to youtube)

The official release party/show will take place tomorrow, Wednesday 10/17 at LA's Bootleg Theater, with a top line-up also featuring The Ross Sea Party (with ex-Mere Mortals guitarist Will Holland on bass), Dona Nicha and Spaceships. Click here for details and tix. (Please note we moved our stage time up to a more school-night friendly 9:30!) We will also premier Unhypnotized on a big screen!

We also have a FREE DOWNLOAD of the song available on our Soundcloud for a limited time only. Go get it!

Of course all of this is just a teaser and start of the build-up to our album release this winter. Stay tuned!
