Hello Schills…

As fall turns to winter, the Riverboat Gamblers lumber into our caves. While we may be resting and letting wounds heal, it is only a partial hibernation we are taking. There is still work to be done. Songs are being prepared and recorded. Plots are being dreamt and schemed.

And we have something new for you already!
 
The video for “DissDissDissKissKissKiss” (YouTube).

It was directed and edited by Gates Bradley. He took my germ of an idea and made a bubonic epidemic. He moved to South America in order to focus on the intense editing job. While there, he stared at the mountain of footage on his computer for 3 weeks straight eating only plantains and chewing coca leaves. The experience left him a shell of the man he once was, and he will no longer speak English words unless they are words found within the song (which is less than practical).
 
The video was shot in my house and I would like to thank all our friends who showed up and overcame their shyness (I’d like to think the “party table” helped) to perform in the video. Extra special thanks to co-conspirator Jose Jones for lights, cameras and action. 

Thank you guys n dolls….

Also, I wanted update everyone on Ian’s recovery (obviously this video was shot before the accident), he is doing well and beginning physical therapy this week. For more, Ian has written a lengthier update over on his Tumblr site.
