My friends at Royal Potato Family recently posted this Surprise Me Mr. Davis gem from a few years back at High Sierra (shot by Karina at Shine A Light Productions) with the following sound description: "Every now again we have to go back and watch this... hit the reset button... and remember the point of all this in the first place." "Fat King of Gods" is the tune‚ and one of the finest from their arsenal.
The lead up to SXSW was an overload to my inbox -- hundreds and hundreds of emails the month up to the event from publicists‚ labels‚ bands hyping all the happenings. It came and went and one of the only genuine residuals from this year's festival was about Surprise Me Mr. Davis. Apparently‚ they pwned it. Here's a nice video by Jesse Lauter from SXSW of Davis getting dirty during "Sissyfuss." The band will most likely tour a bit this summer and are confirmed for Liberate in August.
