The Beanstalk Library – World Leader Pretend video

DC music video of the day! I’ve been a fan of The Beanstalk Library since their 2009 Demo EP release. The band released each track through a different local music-related blog, letting five writers weigh in on their Americana sound. I really hope that a proper release is coming soon from these guys! Tonight they headline a show at the Black Cat Backstage along with NYC’s The Color Bars and locals Archivists. Back in January, they invited their friends at the local video blog Man On The Street DC to film a music video for their cover of the R.E.M. classic World Leader Pretend. Watch it and get a taste of winter that we barely got here.
