new video for Summer of ‘89, shot by our buddy Shane Valdez that is fun and awesome. a little exclusive studio live take of a cut from the record

there’s also a documentary that we are wrapping up that is promised to be a very insightful look into our world, if you are interested. i’ve been working closely with Peter Harding and Shane Valdez on it, as they followed me all over the globe to get a glimpse of life in a rock n roll band. should be good fun for all.
