  • Um ..

    Funny, but that was barely a toss.
    More like a drop.

  • Did the video ever come out?

    Any more than just this snippet out there?

    • Go to the bands web page

      Or was that a myspace page? Anyhow the band is called "dirty on purpose", and they have the video available there. In addition to the band wailing away, it has dancing girls, and some shots of us erecting the thing. They used a much better camera (this was shot with a cell phone) and end with a closeup of the pile of piano debris.
