Eurolog: The Franco Files

February 1st, 2010

WARNING: MAY CAUSE VERTIGO, EXTREME EXCITEMENT, and HEART PALPITATIONS. It’s a live take, shot on a FLIP camera by our French friend and fan, Stan, as he couldn’t resist dancing to the DEFiBILATORs song, ‘Defibulator’, while trying to keep the shot centered. It proves for a very experimental look into yet another moment of the Euro Tour, Fall 2009.

Beer Diary from Wechelderzande, Flanders

November 29th, 2009

Just look at all the tender loving care that goes into pouring the average glass of beer in Belgium.
This particular beer was amazing. It’s pretty much the closest thing to the Holy Grail we found.
The video features our roadie and red right-hand man, Stan, who knows a thing or deux about beer.
