Hey, um, I heard this band has some sweet video footage with an awesome live recording of a show they did at the IMC. Where/how can I see some of that? Also, I think it's sweet how the acronym for "Backyard Shark" is "BS".

Wow. Those live photos look awesome! I tend to prefer live band photos to the posed ones. I don't know if you guys have checked out this band photo website, but it's pretty funny (although a bit cruel):

why is that your guitarist has a better pocket than your drummer? and your highhats are on the right... they should be on the left.
