This is the first in a series of relaxing daydream-able videos that Lullatone are producing together with Secondary School. From the album Songs That Spin in Circles (Audio Dregs 2009).
The guys that run 20jazzfunkgreats, besides keeping an excellent music blog and putting on shows in Brighton, have also started a music label called Hungry for Power; focusing on local bands from Brighton, UK and presenting them to the world on 12 inch vinyl. Peepholes does some jagged, tribal spazz synth punk and I did a remix of one track for the B-side of their 12", where I kind of slowed it down, trying to space it out and disco it up a bit, while still keeping it pretty rock.

I made this new color special, just for you. I hope you like it. I named it after you and it is in the process of getting trademarked.

VIDEO: Bobby Birdman "You'd Be Surprised"
While in Portland, Oregon to rehearse for the upcoming New Mystery Moods Tour with YACHT and the Straight Gaze, Bobby Birdman was asked to perform on Portland Community Media's underground televised variety sensation, The You'd Be Surprised Hour, hosted by "local favorite" Steve Schroeder of States Rights Records.
For the occasion, Bobby Birdman assembled a band of his favorite Portland players to jam under the hot lights of the cable-access studio: Adam Forkner of White Rainbow (seen in the video exhibiting his unparalleled dance style), E*Rock of Audio Dregs/Fryk Beat, and his fellow YACHT and the Straight Gaze bandmates Jona Bechtolt, Claire L. Evans, Jeff Brodsky (Jeffrey Jerusalem) and D. Reuben Snyder (Rob Walmart). By sheer coincidence, they chose to play the song "You'd Be Surprised," from Bobby Birdman's new album, New Moods. The result was such visual dynamite that the video is now being widely released for those people who no longer own televisions.
The You'd Be Surprised Hour has long been a hit with audiences in the Pacific Northwest and beyond, and has featured performances from locally-grown, internationally recognized acts like grammy-nominated Nu Shooz, The Wipers, Heatmiser, Dead Moon and The Kingsmen.
Bobby Birdman joins YACHT and the Straight Gaze on the New Mystery Moods tour of North America this month.
New Moods is out now on Fryk Beat records and will change your world.
