 Honey, you make the SAME. MIS. TAKES. I. DO. |
Life can really pile some shit on you, you know? A very dear friend of mine just said to me, "What a rollercoaster year it's been." Damn if that ain't the truth. I've experienced some of the lowest lows over the last twelve months -- as I'm sure many people have. But I have also had some of my most joyous experiences.
Today, in the midst of more of that shit that life can pile on, I got a beautiful reminder of some of those highest highs in the form of the latest video from The RockNRoll HiFives. "Same Mistakes" is a standout track on the exuberant Re-Introducing The RockNRoll HiFives. It's a crowd favorite from the boardwalks of Asbury Park to the rock clubs of Tokyo and Osaka.
The band combed through video footage -- live footage shot by fan and dual-smartphone rig operator Tsuyoshi Hashimoto, Facebook Live videos, various and sundry clips shot by all of us as we toured Japan together -- and photos to assemble an amazing document of the time we all spent bringing New Jersey rock to gracious and adoring crowds in Japan.
I think the clip gives a real sense of the warm and loving welcome The RockNRoll HiFives received at every stop. That was thanks in no small part to the efforts of Custard Core, the band's Japanese label.
Check the video out below, and watch as I mouth the words "octopus balls."
The RockNRoll HiFives will be playing the Hoboken Fall Arts & Music Festival on September 30th. Go give the band a like on Facebook while you're thinking about them. Re-Introducing The RockNRoll HiFives is out now via our friends at Little Dickman Records.
As for me, I've got a lot of stuff piling up around here that I just haven't had the energy to get around to telling you about. I think this might have been the little kick I needed.
