BITTER PAINTER WORLDWIDE RELEASE

It’s here!  And we’ve been embodied by excitement! Get it RIGHT NOW if you want it RIGHT NOW! On iTunes and Amazon as of 8/21/12.

We’re also wiggling our butts in anticipation for our music video release, but until then, we’ve got a trailer for it:

The toasts commence, but the festivities haven’t even started!  We’ll be partying in nearly every city between here and Canada this fall.  This past Saturday was our EP Release and Engagement Party at the bowling alley here in our hometown of Sarasota, FL.  We’re glowing! And not just because of the face paint!

We have so much love for all of you it ain’t even infringing upon funny territory.

Our photographer, Scott Braun, and Mustache’s lil’ bro/Equines’ drummer Mikey, caught wearing our new shirt design.  As pajamas. (Thanks to Clothesline for the shirts!)

VIDEO: B&M FEATURED ON “WHAT’S YOUR MUSE?”


Our dearest blog pal, Mixtape Muse, has dropped us yet another love letter through the ethernet by featuring Bard and Mustache on his video series, “What’s Your Muse?” Filmed on Valentine’s Day at Shamrock Pub by Gabe Hernandez, the interview stop-motion was a collaboration between Mustache, Scott Braun (who also took our official press photos), and Stephen McFadden (who filmed our first show at the very same spot).

“…For their “What’s Your Muse?” submission, Bortnichak and Murphy chose an old 1959 hit that’s been covered and used in movies/TV extensively — and also appears as the closer on Found. But despite its prevalence in popular culture, they make the song their own, performing it with so much earnestness, and empathy, that you’d think they’d written it autobiograpically. On Valentine’s Day, the band performed at the venue where they first met, and videographer Gabe Hernandez was there to beautifully capture the group’s performance of the song. The chemistry here is hard to miss. Yes, we’ve come full circle. Just look at, and hear, all the magic that happened last Tuesday!” Read more and watch the video here!
