The Morning Benders recently released a video of “Excuses,” a track from the forthcoming Big Echo album. Lead singer Chris Chu starts off explaining why he packs so many humans in such a small space and then magic is captured on video.
The band invited other San Francisco musicians to help out, including Chris from Girls, John Vanderslice and his band, The Mumlers, Gram from Port O’Brien and Rogue Wave and some singers from a local a cappella group. I’m particularly impressed with the three drummers drumming and the “dum dum dum dum” parts.
It looks like no one was injured during the taping. Light chaffing was reported.
Big Echo will be released on March 9th via Rough Trade Records.
The Morning Benders – Excuses

I was wondering what Topher Grace was up to after Spider Man 3…now I know!
I have a few questions.
1. Why weren’t we invited? We know those guys. I feel slighted.
2. How many random hookups occurred post-video? The over under is 2.5.
3. How come there are no special effects? I love special effects.
Isn’t that the lead singer from GIRLS in that video playing acoustic guitar?
