The videos complimented the group's latest album Classic Soundtracks which
was released last year via Xemu Records (which is co-run by Steven Kille of
Dead Meadow) and music was specifically created to accompany movies and film
trailers.
The band spent much of last year touring throughout Europe and America with
such like-minded bands as The Black Angels, Kurt Vile, Black Mountain and
Dead Meadow.
Check them out and get to this show!!
