Break It Down Video
Check out this video from the last show featuring the K-9 Brass. Matt blows a killer solo, Steve rips some high notes while Bob plays some phat ones, and Mike wrote an awesome horn chart that has a cool “Chicago” style ending.
Thanks to Vince H. for the handheld camera work that really added some life to the club video. All in beautiful anamorphic 2:35 to 1. Try the “fullscreen” button on our new video controller.

Bastard Child Video Clip
We purchased a DVD from our last show at the Gig. This is a great service provided by the new owners of the Gig. It’s a pretty cool disc, except for the ridiculous graphics all over it. Being a graphic designer myself, it is really hard for me to overlook.
AlternaTV.tv went a little overboard in their branding effort. What would have been a great tool for bands - a nice edited video of a live performance - is marred by the monstrous logo bug in the corner, and the huge graphics overlayed at the beginning of each song. AlternaTV should take a lesson from VH1 or MTV to do professional, unobtrusive music video title graphics. Still, it is pretty cool. This is the first video featured on urbanfamilydog.com
Check out this clip of Bastard Child and let us know what you think.
