The Riot Before post live acoustic video shot in… a bathroom!
Wednesday, December 9th, 2009
Richmond’s The Riot Before have posted a video of singer Brett Adams performing an acoustic rendition of their song “You Can’t Sexy Dance to Punk Rock” from the band’s last album, “Fists Buried In Pockets.” You can check it out right here.
The video is the first installment of Paper + Plastick’s Bathroom Tapes, a series the label hopes to continue with more acoustic performances filmed within all manner of stalls, porta-potties, and outhouses. The mad scientists of Thunderclap Supergenius filmed this edition, which follows in their line of previously posted intimate performances using only a single camera, a single microphone, and a single take. They’ve also posted videos from bands like Grabass Charlestons, Joey Cape & Jon Snodgrass, and Mike Hale & Austin Lucas.
The Riot Before recently wrapped up recording for their third full-length and Paper + Plastick debut, “Rebellion.” The album was tracked at The Magpie Cage in Washington, DC, with legendary producer J. Robbins (Jawbox, Jawbreaker, Against Me!). It is currently in the mixing stage, with an anticipated release date of March 16, 2010.
