We didn’t make any music videos for the songs of Die Humpin! because as much as that seems like the proper step marketing-wise , music videos by even the best independent bands are usually ineffective. We do, however, find it important and fun to make short films, spoofs, and documentaries that feature the band. 

Why not a music video?  Honestly, because as difficult as it is to get people to give a shit about your song it might be even more difficult when that song comes attached to a video.  This is because downloading and listening to music can be passive, but video-watching is always active.  It seems to be alot easier to gain a little viral traction for your band by taking something that’s already popular and putting a unique spin on it.

We were thoroughly amazed when we saw the original Amish Fireplace commercial a little over a year ago. Mike (Captain Mediocrity) and I went to the hardware store and bought everything we needed to build our own Amish Computer Mantle.  On a Dollars Per Second scale, this has to be the most expensive short we’ve ever made.
