Ed Schrader’s Music Beat is heading out on tour in support of last year’s Party Jail LP for Infinity Cat Recordings, and the band is kicking off the tour with a new video for “Emperor’s New Chair” (see Nerdist debut).
Watch/Post: “Emperor’s New Chair” Video
“The video was shot in one day in Chicago by Justin Barnes and Tom Galang while on tour this past Febuary.” says bassist, Deviln Rice, adding “The idea was to try and recreate Paul Simon’s whimsical video for ‘Call Me Al’ except that it would actually be funny.”
