“Party with the kids who want to party with you.” Seems like simple advice, right? As daily life becomes more and more untenable, we must seek solace and joy from the people who get us, members of our tribes. But all this social distancing makes that way more difficult. For now, let’s come together to dance to the methodically catchy new single from one of DC’s finest indie pop band Bad Moves, and the delightful music video from Ben Epstein and singer David Combs’s production team Baby Pony Food Productions. I bet they could really use a preorder right now for Untenable, the new album dropping on May 29th.

Bad Moves – Spirit FM
Yowza, these Bad Moves songs just get catchier and catchier. Yesterday the uberpop supergroup dropped the third single from their upcoming full length on Don Giovanni and finally revealed the pre-order and fall tour for Tell No One. “Spirit FM” is another in the many witty and slick vids produced by Baby Pony Food and directed by David Combs, Ben Epstein and Katie Park, showing the agony of non-confirmity in a colorless fashion world. We always love a rousing game of “Spot the Recognizable DC Music Scene Faces”, and this video is loaded with them. Buy your tix now for their hometown album release show at Black Cat on Friday September 21st with The Obsessives & Ultra Beauty, cuz it’s a Backstage show and you know it’s gonna sell out.
Top 5 Videos of 2017 #3: Bad Moves – The Verge
Baby Pony Food Productions are masters at crafting great music videos. The directing team of Ben Epstein and David “Spoonboy” Combs showed up in the #3 slot in our Top 5 Videos of 2015 with “Sun’s Early Rays”, the first in the action-twisted trilogy by The Max Levine Ensemble. For 2017 the duo used a simple and mesmerizing motif of pouring water for the debut single “The Verge” by Combs’s pop supergroup Bad Moves. The waitstaff at Torrie’s diner in Shaw handle the refilling chores in gorgeous slo-mo, giving the viewer ample opportunity to contemplate what the hell is going on in this establishment. The quartet of Combs, Daoud Tyler-Ameen, Katie Park and Emma Cleveland head to the studio early next year to lay down a full length album for Don Giovanni Records, and we simply cannot wait.
