Lets talk about Critical Hit No More Kings 2023-07-02 | A few snippets from the NMK Patreon video about Critical Hit, plus a little bonus live performance. Fun stuff! Critical Hit was such a fun song to write and record, and I really didn't get to play it live as much as I wanted to. I still have pretty fond memories of it all though!
Lets talk about Zombie Me No More Kings 2023-06-06 | A quick walkthrough of the recording of Zombie Me, from the version on our first album, to the newer Apoca-mix version on NMK III. (Bonus acapella version at the end). Most of this was taken from our official NMK Patreon. If you'd like to learn more about that, head over to our page: patreon.com/nomorekings
Alone in Graceland (official music video) No More Kings 2023-04-28 | Well well! Only a few years late to the party on this one! ha!Back when we recorded this song, Neil and I shot this video. Neil had a beautiful pop-up book of Graceland, with a bunch of Elvis paper dolls in it. We immediately thought of putting my head on the Elvis doll and having me skulk around the cardboard estate. We had a blast filming it, and it went pretty quick. I started editing the video right away.. and then.. yikes. Years went by. I'm not even sure, now, what got in the way. But for one reason or another, I simply stopped working on the video, and sort of forgot about it.Until now. The NMK Patreon made it possible for me to devote the time to finally finishing the video. And I'm so glad it did. I'm really proud of this one, I think it's silly and charming, in a classic NMK way. So if you were part of the Patreon, thank you! And if you aren't yet, but you'd like to learn more about it, head over here: patreon.com/nomorekingsThanks!

Theyre Coming to Get You, Barbara (live piano version) No More Kings 2022-10-30 | A few years ago, Neil visited me in Las Vegas. We decided to do a live stream on Facebook. It was super fun. This acoustic piano performance of They're Coming to Get You, Barbara was one of the highlights for me.
Zombie Me Song Diary (HD upscale version) No More Kings 2022-10-26 | Years ago, in the early days of recording No More Kings albums, I wanted to make little song diaries for each album. I think I only made two at the time, one for Someday, and this one for Zombie Me.I decided to re-post this video now, in time for spooky season!
I Put a Spell on You (teaser) No More Kings 2022-10-19 | This month for my Patreon video, I decided to do a fun, spooky cover of I Put a Spell on You, from Hocus Pocus.

Tracys Song (Neil and Pete live piano performance) No More Kings 2022-10-13 | One of our favorite songs from our third album (NMK III), Tracy's Song is about the last moon man, Eugene Cernan, who carved his daughter's initials into the surface of the moon.
Umbrella (live acoustic) No More Kings 2022-10-06 | A few years ago, before the pandemic, I was visiting my friends Derek and Kate in LA, when Derek suggested we use the photography studio space to film a few NMK songs. I thought it was a great idea, and we managed to get three songs filmed, Zombie Me, Someday and Umbrella. I feel like I've posted a few versions of Zombie Me and Someday in the past, so this time I thought it'd be fun to post this version of Umbrella. Umbrella has always been a special song for me. It was one of the first NMK songs Neil and I wrote together, and it's one of the few songs of ours that isn't about an 80s movie! (just kidding)Anyway, here it is, stripped down and simple. I hope you dig it.
Michael Jump In (HD upscale version) No More Kings 2022-09-16 | When most of our content came out for our first album, the internet was in its relative infancy. YouTube had just started. An as such, things weren't made in HD yet. So recently, I've been going through whatever videos I can and upscaling them to be HD. The process isn't perfect, but I think it works better than watching the clunky old lower res versions. I think. ha!You can see the upscaled version of Sweep the Leg here: youtube.com/watch?v=fIODfJD50K0
Johnny sings Sweep the Leg No More Kings 2021-09-01 | There's one sequence in the Sweep the Leg video where Billy/Johnny is getting ready to go out and confront me, to karate kick my butt. He is in his bathroom shaving and singing into a hairdryer. In the video, this is only shown for a second. But in reality we filmed the whole second verse and chorus this way. So I decided to edit that footage together.
The Dogs of Sweep the Leg No More Kings 2021-08-30 | One of my favorite bits of filming the Sweep the Leg video, were these dogs amazing attack dogs that guarded Johnny's trailer.
Johnny Prepares to Sweep the Leg No More Kings 2021-08-30 | When you simply must sweep the leg, you must properly prepare.
Sweep the Leg (Upscaled HD version) No More Kings 2021-07-13 | When Sweep the Leg first came out, the internet was still in its infancy. HD video wasn't really a thing yet. So for all the attention our video got, it was locked into SD quality, which makes it hard to stomach now.So, recently, I decided to upscale the video to HD using special software. The result isn't perfect, but it's far better than the SD version that we were stuck with before.

Narcolepsy (Ben Folds Five cover) No More Kings 2015-12-10 | i recently got an amazing plugin by Tim Exile called Flesh. it helps to "flesh out" full song arrangements from rhythmic source material; in my case, a beatbox loop. as i was playing around with the chord generator, i realized i was accidentally covering a Ben Folds Five tune. so i went with it.
