The HIDE (LIVE) Official Video is now on our VEVO & YouTube channels • A post-punk protest song written in 1984 about protecting hope under authoritarian rule, recorded live and featuring @okgo drummer Dan Konopka • If you like early U2 you’ll dig this: youtu.be/JxA86MPI7tA?si=6MtK…

Merry Christmas from our little group to yours🎄☮️ #longlivethenewwavers Tagging a few who have been ultra supportive this year 🖤🙏🏼 @KWSS_Radio @JakeRudh @phoenixnewtimes @ChrisApplebaum
4 years ago tonight we played our first show in 30 years. The world has changed quite a bit since 2019 (and so has our band) but we cherish every moment we get to share with you guys, because nothing is better than making people feel good and watching them dance • See you soon.

We’ll be live in the @Twitch chat with @JakeRudh to celebrate the new video tonight. Five hours of amazing music from the 80s & 90s — our band will be featured around 9pm PST. Link to show: twitch.tv/djjakerudh/schedul…
I first met @ChrisApplebaum when he was attached to direct a horror film that I wrote. He was hot off winning a VMA for Rihanna’s “Umbrella” video and eager to make a film. Alas, despite a decent sale, the movie never got made. Ah, Hollywood. (1/3) 🧵
Today, almost 20 yrs later, instead of shredding teenagers, we finally got to work together with teenagers who shred — our kids. Making an independent music video is far less lucrative than producing horror films, but this collaboration was much more rewarding. I’m grateful (2/3)
