I hate it when I’m this late with news, but Still Flyin’, the reggae-inspired hammjamm megaband fronted by Sean Rawls of Je Suis France and Masters of the Hemisphere, has issued a monster mash music video for their new single, “Good Thing It’s a Ghost Town Around Here.”  It’s directed by Isobel Knowles, and features Dracula, zombies, and a possessed pizza (delivered by The Ladybug Transistor’s Gary Olson).  What more could you want?  Just pretend it’s Halloween and that I posted this when I should have.


Still Flyin’ – Good Thing It’s a Ghost Town Around Here

 

The single is included in Still Flyin’s long-awaited debut album, Never Gonna Touch the Ground, which in the U.S. is due out April 7th on Ernest Jenning, and which is available now in Australia on the Lost and Lonesome Recording Co. label.  The Australian label has also issued a “Good Thing It’s a Ghost Town Around Here” CD single, which has the exclusive B-side “Drac’s House.”  You can also get the European version of the single, with different artwork and a different B-side (”Rope Burn”), from Moshi Moshi Records as a 7″ or a download. If you live in the US and want some Still Flyin’ right now, check out their previously-released EPs on Antenna Farm, Time Wrinkle EJ and Za Cloud EJ, both of which are superb. Those are also available on iTunes.
