Live video is hard to get - to have footage that's engaging to watch, you need to have someone manually operating the camera, so that you can have shots of the band, closeups of the players, different angles, etc. It's even better if you can have multiple cameras going at once, something until recently, we've rarely ever been able to pull off. And then there's audio quality - most built-in camera mics don't do so well when confronted with a band that plays as loudly as we usually do.

Oh well.

What you can watch here is what we've been able to scrape together from friends or, in most cases, by setting a camera on a tripod, pointing it at the stage, and pressing RECORD. Still, for those of you who don't live anywhere near Seattle, you can see a little of what we sound like playing this weird music in a live environment.
