This week has been ca-razy! For those of you who haven't heard, we posted a brand new song (a parody, really) called "Every Band in the U.S.A." on our myspace last Monday. Welp, the response was game-changing, which made us think, "Hey, this thing needs a face!"
So, we shot a modest video on my iPhone & posted it on Thanksgiving to our
youtube channel. Next thing we knew, you - our AMAZING fans - turned it into something extra special, with over 100,000 plays in just 3 days! So, we thank you, without your help this wouldn't be happening, we're excited and humbled to be representing the good fight for independent music, where YouTube is the new MTV, and you don't need big marketing money to connect. This was the best $0 we never spent! We must say, it's been truly beautiful to connect with you all on such a one-on-one level through the
youtube comments and
twitter - even if we did get laughed at in the process. It's why we do this, really - to CONNECT...
This whole thing is just a tongue-in-cheek observation, a commentary if you will, on what we see on tour in America. The truth is, a lot of times we feel a bit old fashioned, a bit left out, and we thought it
might be funny to bring our own insecurities out in to the open through this song. It turns out there's been a lot of people who connected to it, and that's just cool. This song was not really meant as a stab to Miley, Glamour Kills, Fall Out Boy, All Time Low or anyone else we called out - and we're glad it hasn't been received as such - in fact, they've all endorsed the video. (except Miley, we may need to send her a fruit basket tomorrow ...)
Which brings me to my final point: Where do we go from here? This thing has LONG LEGS thanks to you guys, so the sky is the limit. Everybody e-mail all their friends & tell 'em 2 post THIS whereever they can. We love you for helping out! fun.
