I’ll admit that when I first saw the invitation to attend the video shoot for The Dead Sparrows first video at the Swindle Shoppe, I wasn’t really interested in going. Not because I don’t love these guys, but because I had no desire to be IN the video. I’m much more comfortable behind the camera than in front of it, so I never gave it much thought. Then it occurred to me that it might be fun to go check it out as a photographer rather than an extra in the video! I knew they were going to have the amazing Crowe Productions shooting the video, but figured it would be cool to have some “behind the scenes” photos as well… plus it gave me an excuse to get off my ass and go check it out!

It was really cool to see the video being created and I met some great new people. Plus there was a guitar smash finale and once the video crew was gone the boys played a set for us! Needless to say it was a great night all around.

There’s lots of photos, so just scroll on down to check them out. And make sure to come see The Dead Sparrows live, they’re playing this weekend… Friday AND Saturday!

I can’t wait to see the finished product, make sure to keep an eye out for news of the release.
