Couch By Couchwest 2012

For CXCW 2012, we decided to cover one of our favorites… The Misfits’ Hybrid Moments.

httpvh://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LxKbkrCnZjA

Basically, musicians submit videos taped anywhere but SXSW and the folks at CXCW post what they like. They call it “the slackers’ alternative to SXSW.”

We were part of the final day festivities. Check out the post and their site for more videos…

Beyond this video for CXCW, we’re thinking of doing more clips like this as part of a series called ‘The Basement Takes.’

Thanks to all for the cool feedback on the video.
