Local ska, rock-steady group, Whiskey Avengers released the first video off their new album, Dead Man Rockin’. The song they chose, “Me, Myself and I” is one of the only non-ska songs on the record. It’s a banjo-driven, punk rock, sea-shanty with a feel that transports the listener back to a pre-rock ‘n’ roll era. Appropriately, the video has the look and feel of an old-timey silent movie.
Dead Man Rockin’ is the group’s third full length is their most cohesive and their most well-produced album to date. It has primarily a soulful-rock steady feel, with some variances.
The video, much like the song, is a fun romp. The old-timey effect is obviously fake, as are the band-members’ fake mustaches—all to comedic effect. And what would a Whiskey Avengers be if there weren’t lots of young ladies—or in this case, wenches—biding for each member’s attention?
Whiskey Avengers play the Blank Club on July 13 at 9p. Tickets are $10.
