If you hated going to school as a kid, this one is for you. It's the world premiere of the "Varsity" video. (please leave a comment).
This was our biggest video production yet and a massive undertaking. The film crew hung up lights on 30 foot ladders in an old middle school gym. If someone would've fallen, I would've gotten sued and then probably gone to hell.
Filmmaker Max Hauser and I came up with the concept to make fun of our lowest moments in school; bullies, being scared of girls, social awkwardness and trying to fit in.
New "It's Hard to be a Person" US tour announced below.
