After their performance here in Vancouver the band was flown to Wisconsin to perform at a rally in support of Bernie Sanders!

Momento - Sex With Strangers' New Video

It is with great pride that we present the brand new, live off the floor, video of Sex With Strangers single "Momento'.   We shot this clip a couple weekends back at the rather bizarrely horror movie themed Sanctuary Rehearsal studios in East Vancouver.  Everybody showed up and killed it.  Lead singer Hatch Benedict is in top form, and I think this is the first time I've seen his live-show energy captured on camera.  But I suppose that is because it is live!

Sex With Strangers - Momento was directed, edited, recorded and mixed by Mark R Henning
Filmed at Sanctuary Rehearsal Studios, Vancouver BC
Videography by Benn McGuire and Henning
Mixed and edited at Boutique Empire Recording by Henning
Audio mastering by Craig Waddell at Gotham Studio

Special Thanks to Wayne Hoecherl for his assistance in regards to camera equipment!

Momento will be a part of the new ep Space and Time, produced by Jason Corbett, arriving April 5th 2016.
