As we make our way to a couple gigs this week in Indiana and Ohio, the folks at Red Bull see us off with the penultimate Rock The Route episode. Many thanks.

In a ghost town somewhere we don’t quite remember, both bands formed into one and played a bluesy shuffle for Joe and Cody (from Young Jesus) to blaze over. What’s missing here is footage of the firework fight and BMA victoriously lighting smoke bombs in the close-windowed van after the shoot. Ah well… Save it for the blooper reel!

Whoa, Joe! I heard a couple heady Jerry riffs in there, brah!

Thanks for the props, Eddie. We think Joe’s pretty wicked, too.
