Ghost Hits Video Release Show

We had a blast making a new music video for our song “Ghost Hits.” It’s got violence, romance, laughs, tears … everything you could ever want from a few rogue barons. It’s gonna hit the internet sometime real soon, but we’re going to screen the film at Glasslands in Brooklyn on Friday 5/17 as a little sneak peek. We’re also going to play a set with some new jams, our first in NYC for a while! Come hang, cast and crew of the video will be there too, along with Tinmouth and Nightbox opening.

8pm, $10 cover, 21+, get tickets here.

Matt with … Esperanza Spalding?

We know him as our endlessly talented, bedredded drummer. You may know him as the dashing lad who fictionally dates Grammy Award-winning songstress Esperanza Spalding in this music video … Unreal, we’re floored and stupidly proud of Addo.


In other news, we’re having an excellent day of jamming out here in Bushwick … new tunes baking away, we’ll get those out to you ASAP in 2013.

Crazy Align

In preparation for the Ghost Hits release on June 12th, here’s a video we did for our new song “Crazy Align” in collaboration with twisted film genius Ricky Shabazz. Big ups to the peeps at Three/21 Media and SDR who do a helluva job.
