If you've read the note we put at the top of this video description, you'll see that this is an upload of a re-edit of our music video from last year, Shattered Stars. It's actually a second re-edit from the one done last week. Our former band member Michael Reed and our sound technician Steve Negrete have been cut out of the video and replaced with some unused footage. This is in response to issues brought to the band about Mike from victims as well as an incident involving Steve. Mike hasn't been in the band since the end of February 2020. We are also no longer working with Steve because of his actions. I will talk about Mike first, and then Steve after... -- The band only found out about Mike's behavior on Tuesday June 30th after some people contacted band members privately directly through social media and the band's email. The evidence is far from unfounded. It's all damning and there is no ifs, ands, or buts about it. The evidence is overwhelming and there was no way we could turn a blind eye to what these people came forward with, nor would we ever had we known sooner. We are keeping the victims statements private, but if any victims share their stories and evidence publicly, we stand with them. Please know that this is heavy stuff, and respect the privacy of any victim that may be talking about this publicly on social media. -- The band was lead to believe by Mike that he was just "a nice guy with no ill intent" anytime we called him out on being overly friendly with fans, and how that could be taken by people. Little did we know that was just surface level behavior, and it ran deeper than that. We are so sorry people felt isolated in these incidences with Mike. It wasn't isolated, and plenty of people had something similar happen over the years that we are hearing now, and we are shocked and disgusted. -- We are not out to ruin Michael's career, but we cannot ignore all of this, we have to address it because people came forward with evidence and their stories, and they have been hurt. We cannot change the past, and we feel manipulated beyond comprehension. He tainted a positive and safe environment. His actions go against every fiber of what the band stands for. -- We do not have a statement from Mike, he has denied everything when we contacted him early last week. The private evidence we have is as clear as day for us. The band does not condone his actions. -- Yesterday (7/9/20) someone came forward with an incident about our sound technician Steve Negrete. We followed up with the sources. The band does not condone these actions and we are no longer working with Steve because of them. Here is a statement from him: -------- "To the fans and followers of Steam Powered Giraffe, This is Steve Negrete, I’ve been the technical engineer for the live stage show for around 10 years. The information that has come to light about Mike this past week has shocked us all. I stand in solidarity with the band’s reaction to the information, and also with the decisions they have made in response. Steam Powered Giraffe is meant to be a safe place in an uncertain world. This simple statement serves as one of the band’s core principles. With this statement in mind, I must reflect on my history with the band, and I must take responsibility for a stark truth: I have betrayed this principle during my time with the group." -------- "The fact of the matter is that I have hooked up with fans during past Steam Powered Giraffe shows. As a result of my actions, I have left emotional scars in my wake. To anyone who has suffered in any way due to my actions, I acknowledge that your feelings and emotions towards me are valid, and I apologize for the hurt that I have caused you. I readily accept responsibility for leaving these scars, and I make no excuses for my behavior. I cannot ask for your forgiveness, nor do I expect you to give it." -------- To the internet at large, I say this: I don’t care what people think of me, and I don’t care about any reputation of my own that I have in this band. What I do care about is how all of this affects Steam Powered Giraffe, and how it affects the livelihood of the people therein. I don’t want the rest of the band to try and defend me on any of this, I don’t want them to have to deal with stress because of me, and I don’t want my presence to serve as a deterrent to the fans." -------- "Above all, however, I want there to be no question regarding the core principles of Steam Powered Giraffe. As such, I am making the decision to resign from my position of employment with the band. I will not be working with Steam Powered Giraffe again. Thank you for all the shows, songs, and smiles over the years. -Steve Negrete" --- That was Steve's statement. We edited this music video because it featured Mike and Steve prominently. We certainly do not wish to give Mike any more exposure, which is why we edited this video and Latum Alterum last week, but we felt it was only right to edit Shattered Stars again to remove Steve. We are not going to invite arguments over the severity of the actions of either member cut from this video. They both crossed a line in their own ways that the band would never condone now or in the past. The band agreed that re-editing these newer music video was something we wanted to do. For the final mixes of these songs on the actual physical and digital album release, we have replacing the handful of harmony vocals Mike has done. We have also already replaced the currently released singles with these new versions where we are able (Bandcamp and our online store). -- The band will not re-edit the past albums, songs, music videos, and concert videos featuring Mike and Steve, but we wanted to do it at least for our recent music videos and our currently unreleased newest album "1896" and it's already released singles. -- These issues came to light recently over the last two weeks for us and we feel it's only right to do what we can to make people aware of why we are editing this video and validate the victims that have reached out. We are listening to people who are coming forward who have been victims and we stand by them.
Best wishes to you and the crew, David! Hope things get better for you guys as the year goes on, keep your chins up and just hope and wish for the best! ❤️
Thank you. I was never personally hurt by either of these members- but painfully shocked to find out about it. I can't even imagine the impact it has had on each member of your band. But as a survivor of conditioned abuse and sexual assault, and just as someone who cares deeply about others and their pain, I am eternally grateful to your choice of actions following the devastation caused by those close to you. I support SPG more than ever and hold each of you with wells of love and appreciation. Wishing you strength and comfort through this❤
Not gonna lie, was worried Zero would change the band too much like a new ingredient overpowering a favorite dish, but it sounds like you 3 have been performing together since you were kids, love it.
Zero is adorable, I'm always in love with Bunny, and I've got a persistent crush on the Walter Girls and their smiles. Spine gets enough love but he's also awesome ;)
First off: Great job at being responsible adults unlike most of the bands with controversy around them. You guys have responded more responsibly than I could've asked for... Secondly: You guys are literally the cutest like??? It's not fair for three people to be the most adorable beings on this planet
No one has commented on this for a while, so thought I'd say what a lovely spirit-lifting happy song this is! It looked like all the bots were having fun making this one, you can't help but smile. 😊 Great song to get you through the week. I showed this to a couple of friends who were feeling down and it instantly cheered them up. 💖
As much chaos and turmoil this band experiences, I will NEVER NOT be a fan of this group. You guys brought light in my darkest days and joy when I was feeling the worst. You brought fun when I struggled to smile and love when I felt alone. I thank you for the time we share together and the music you give that puts a light into my soul.
It looks like you all had such a fun time filming this video! For something that had to be re-edited twice, you managed to keep the charm and fun of the original, I honestly really love this version. It makes me sad to hear about what Mike and Steve did, but your response to the situation has really reinvigorated my love for the band. I hope you continue moving forward and keep making phenomenal, beautiful music.
I can't understand why SPG aren't recognised for the genius that they are, and played on mainstream media, cos let's face it, they are more real than most bands these days, where they actually address real issues and tackle adversity with such diplomacy......Get them recognised for who and what they represent, I think in this day and age, where we're all supposed to be accepting of each other, this band is setting an outstanding example
You guys are too good to everyone. A lot of allegations have been coming out right now and you're the first band I have seen actually turn around and do/say something about it instead of a shitty facebook picture saying "we're not with him". Some of them even delete that after a few days. My hat goes off to you!
SPG is a class act. Thank you for being honest. Thank you for sharing this amazing work that bring me so much joy in these uncertain times. Thank you for being the amazing humans you all are. To any and all fans, from one fan to another, don’t forget they have a Patreon and a donation option on their website. I can say with great confidence that their shirts are very comfortable. Got a full set for the family.
You guys are absolutely amazing. I'm sorry you've had to go through this but it's totally admirable that you stand behind your principles and the people who were adversely affected by people you trusted. I'm a fairly new fan but definitely a fan for life.
Outside of crushing on the band, much respect to SPG for their response to the situation. Seriously, you folks are the gold standard for how a band and people should comport themselves. We all love you :)
SPG demonstrates outstanding diplomatic, skills in response to sad, acts of betrayal. Let their amazing creativity continue without further interruption. NOTE to any new band members: Remember how lucky you are to be included in SPG.
Much respect. I understand the difficulty of these times. That can't have been easy to go through. I hope you all know i will continue to support you. Though i may just be one voice among many. For many reasons, you are one of my favorite bands, and i suspect that wont change. Good luck in the future and remember we are all here for you.
This is pain but know it's temporary, it hurts to find this information but now that it's out of the way we can all move past it for a healing and more positive future for Steam Powered Giraffe and the fans. Been a fan since I was 15 and I'm 23 now, with no intention of stopping soon, keep it up SPG!!!
While the circumstances are awful, it is nice to have the opportunity to like this song more than once! I love you guys and am proud of how you've all stepped up and handled things.
Keep up the amazing work! Sorry to hear about what happened to part of the SPG crew, and I hope everything gets much better. Hope everyone out there is staying safe, best wishes to all! ❤️
I will always have love and respect for this band, this just shows me how much of there heart and soul goes into there work and music. I hope this doesn't stop anyone from supporting this talented band and I personally will always do so 🥰🥰🥰
Love and respect from Brasil! I love this band SO MUCH! Since the first time I've heard them, I fell in love with the vocal harmonies. Also, I'm loving Zero's songs. His voice is something new to the band and I just wanna give him a hug! Love you, guys!!!
the silly banter between Rabbit and The Spine that starts at 5:04 regarding Rabbit trying to use the bathroom makes me scream with laughter! They make me cry with laughter hahahahaha
Again, looks like you guys have handled everything so well. Kudos. As to Steve leaving due to hooking up with fans. Ya'll know the details, so the right thing to do is the right thing to do. It's a better world we're making and living in. I wonder how many of the great bands from the 60s and later would still have the same lineup if their members were held to the same standards of SPG.
We are completely floored by the news. We have become recent fans, and our little daughter can be found singing your songs in the car, around the house, and sometimes while at the store. We hope you guys are able to come back from all this even stronger. Time to start requesting more of these You Tube reaction video people to hear your songs, and react to them! I have been requesting to 2 guys I watch to react to your songs. Time to do more, to help get your name out there!
This is absolutely heartbreaking. Spine, Bunny, Zero. I love you so much, and I wish all of you the very best. You continue to be a shining, inspirational light in my life. I've been an avid fan for years and years, and I would absolutely love to see you guys live. Please come to the UK more.
Whether you like to reminisce about the old SPG and the previous band members or not, you can't ignore the fact that Zer0/Bryan makes some absolute BANGERS and his contribution to the band is great. He just has a great vibe and I love it
I feel for you all however if you do not mind my diverting from this subject , I started listening to you guys when my son was in High School He turned me on to your music. I noted that you all have been continuing to work, produce and write music. I am sure you would agree that Music is a universal language. I love your sound on this cut and whatever internal problems you all have had it looks like you are doing some amazing work. Thanks.
Why oh why has this band not hit the big time?? They have always been working hard and are so caring for their fans. They deserve to have so much success they have been doing this since 2009. Cmon folks get this band to the bigtime. They are so cute funny and talented
I'd never heard of this band before this morning. One of the Lets Players I follow posted their stream from last night and someone commented they ran across SPG. The YT'er said he'd been a fan for years. So, had to check them out. Listened to a few songs (who am I kidding. I ended up binging all the music on here) and I'm left with one question. How have I not heard of Steam Powered Giraffe before???
Im here from a cover that u had done of i dont want to set the world on fire by the ink spots and after listening to ur songs im in love i cant wait to hear more music from u all :))
love zero, he has one of the warmest, smoothest voice ever and his songs always rock. catchy rhythms and the lyrics are always sweet. not to mention his robot outfit is cool as hell! ❤ he's got it all! great music video and love to see all you so happy and having fun!
Spine should do a cover of riders on the storm I think his voice is so majestic. Also I do live action role playing and my characters name is Thor shatterstar so I thought this song was quite lovely
I'm not a long time fan, but these news sadden me a lot all the same. I really respect you guys for your decisions on how to handle this. Your music came into my life during hard times, and I'd be lying if I said that it didn't help me go through them. Something so joyful and pure like this band must be kept that way, and your honesty and determination in how you handled it proves that you see it too. Big hugs, and I hope y'all can get some slack for the rest of the year
Okay, I have to say! Zero's addition to the bans breathed so much fresh life not only into the band, but into my corner of the world! I love you guys to pieces, and I'm so glad that we get to see you guys do your best work, plus with the addition of the magnificent Zero! Hey, Zero! In case you read this, I just wanted to thank you for helping me expand on my singing range and introducing me to new styles of singing! You rock!
It really takes a lot to address this publicly. I am impressed at your sense of responsibility and your integrity. 99% of bands would have either denied it or hushed it up. By dealing with it you prove your ethics and it makes me even more fond of you.
Zer0's voice is amazing deep and rich like good coffee I Love how your songs are so catchy and easy to listen to as for the whole situation this is how a band should react to such circumstances.
I don’t like change so I was super nervous when hatchworth left and you guys replaced him with a bass singer but this song in the past few days has quickly grown to one of my favorites. I can’t wait to see what else y’all do! 😁💕💕💕
I am new to Steam Punk Music, so far I have subscribed to two channels Abneypark and The Cog Is Dead. This is my third subscription to a Steam Punk Band. (Unaware of past band history) I wanted to say the two reasons I subscribed to this channel was (1) Steam Powered Giraffe what an Awesome name! and (2) Bryan Barbarin He is so Freaking Awesome! Great Voice, amazing Eye brow action. He is a Sexy Beast and Great Addition to your band!
I'm sorry all this went down. You are all amazing and there's a light at the end of the tunnel. Don't let the actions of others bring you down. Stay awesome!
GET OUTTA HERE SO BAD!!! I love you guys!!!! How did it take me so long to find you?????!!!!!!! OMG I was so into steam punk as a teenager (ya'll were too young). I am SOOO glad you all are keepin it alive!!! YES!!!!!!!!
Being stoned and also from the end of the punk rock era, I slipped into that universe and felt it with the similar energy and passion, and felt the happiness of a harmonious mosh pit that resembled more a 30- or so partner dance than a slam-pit. A sort of kum-ba-ya but playing a little rough but happy, like pirates 🏴☠ in a pub? Now, to add a bit of antimatter to the space-time machine, and bring these two universes together...

We are also no longer working with Steve because of his actions. I will talk about Mike first, and then Steve after...
--
The band only found out about Mike's behavior on Tuesday June 30th after some people contacted band members privately directly through social media and the band's email. The evidence is far from unfounded. It's all damning and there is no ifs, ands, or buts about it. The evidence is overwhelming and there was no way we could turn a blind eye to what these people came forward with, nor would we ever had we known sooner. We are keeping the victims statements private, but if any victims share their stories and evidence publicly, we stand with them. Please know that this is heavy stuff, and respect the privacy of any victim that may be talking about this publicly on social media.
--
The band was lead to believe by Mike that he was just "a nice guy with no ill intent" anytime we called him out on being overly friendly with fans, and how that could be taken by people. Little did we know that was just surface level behavior, and it ran deeper than that. We are so sorry people felt isolated in these incidences with Mike. It wasn't isolated, and plenty of people had something similar happen over the years that we are hearing now, and we are shocked and disgusted.
--
We are not out to ruin Michael's career, but we cannot ignore all of this, we have to address it because people came forward with evidence and their stories, and they have been hurt. We cannot change the past, and we feel manipulated beyond comprehension. He tainted a positive and safe environment. His actions go against every fiber of what the band stands for.
--
We do not have a statement from Mike, he has denied everything when we contacted him early last week. The private evidence we have is as clear as day for us. The band does not condone his actions.
--
Yesterday (7/9/20) someone came forward with an incident about our sound technician Steve Negrete. We followed up with the sources. The band does not condone these actions and we are no longer working with Steve because of them. Here is a statement from him:
--------
"To the fans and followers of Steam Powered Giraffe, This is Steve Negrete, I’ve been the technical engineer for the live stage show for around 10 years.

That was Steve's statement. We edited this music video because it featured Mike and Steve prominently. We certainly do not wish to give Mike any more exposure, which is why we edited this video and Latum Alterum last week, but we felt it was only right to edit Shattered Stars again to remove Steve. We are not going to invite arguments over the severity of the actions of either member cut from this video. They both crossed a line in their own ways that the band would never condone now or in the past. The band agreed that re-editing these newer music video was something we wanted to do.

We have also already replaced the currently released singles with these new versions where we are able (Bandcamp and our online store).
--
The band will not re-edit the past albums, songs, music videos, and concert videos featuring Mike and Steve, but we wanted to do it at least for our recent music videos and our currently unreleased newest album "1896" and it's already released singles.
--

Best wishes to you and the crew, David! Hope things get better for you guys as the year goes on, keep your chins up and just hope and wish for the best! ❤️
This is incredibly handled by all of you. I hope to see these types of responses becoming the norm more and more as the world carries on. Thank you 🙏
whattt.. oh my god :( i wish the best for you all🖤
I am so sorry that you have to deal with this stuff...and well, hopefully it gets better.

Not gonna lie, was worried Zero would change the band too much like a new ingredient overpowering a favorite dish, but it sounds like you 3 have been performing together since you were kids, love it.
Zer0/Bryan's voice is like being wrapped in blankets across from a fireplace on a cold winter's evening
omg thats so poetic of a description😭💕💕
I cant get over how cute and precious Zero is! I just want to give him a big ole hug!!!
S ame
Ditto
I feel like he gives the warmest hugs 😭
Zero is adorable, I'm always in love with Bunny, and I've got a persistent crush on the Walter Girls and their smiles. Spine gets enough love but he's also awesome ;)
I loved how Zer0's voice added something new to the band. Can't wait to hear more song with him
Came here to say this exactly. Love the Soul he has added to the band. This song is my fav of the new album followed closely by Hot on the Trail
His involvement with the band made me a fan of The Routine. I love Bryan's voice!
I didn't like zero all to much but this song just proved me wrong
RIGHT !!!
First off: Great job at being responsible adults unlike most of the bands with controversy around them. You guys have responded more responsibly than I could've asked for...
Secondly: You guys are literally the cutest like??? It's not fair for three people to be the most adorable beings on this planet
well this is heartbreaking. however you guys taking responsibility and doing something about it all is admireable.
wha?

I can say with great confidence that their shirts are very comfortable. Got a full set for the family.
zer0's voice is just so... happy and wonderful. He's a great addition to the band!
You know when you like someone and every song is suddenly about them? Yeah, I've listened to this song like 80 times over and over.
You guys are absolutely amazing. I'm sorry you've had to go through this but it's totally admirable that you stand behind your principles and the people who were adversely affected by people you trusted. I'm a fairly new fan but definitely a fan for life.
So much respect to you for how you handled this and your care for others. You help so much at this time. Love and good wishes.

I'm so sorry yall are going through this AGAIN, I hope you recover as a band as well as personally.
Haven Skylar Young wait... again? What happened the last time??
@@ixea_idol9392 I just mean since like a week ago. They already edited this once and uploaded it like July 5th or something like that
Haven Skylar Young ohh alright, thank you for clarifying.
I will always have love and respect for this band, this just shows me how much of there heart and soul goes into there work and music. I hope this doesn't stop anyone from supporting this talented band and I personally will always do so 🥰🥰🥰
Love and respect from Brasil!
I love this band SO MUCH! Since the first time I've heard them, I fell in love with the vocal harmonies.
Also, I'm loving Zero's songs. His voice is something new to the band and I just wanna give him a hug!
Love you, guys!!!
the silly banter between Rabbit and The Spine that starts at 5:04 regarding Rabbit trying to use the bathroom makes me scream with laughter! They make me cry with laughter hahahahaha
Absolutely love the joy in all of your faces in this song. Zero's smile is infectious and beautiful!
Again, looks like you guys have handled everything so well. Kudos.
As to Steve leaving due to hooking up with fans. Ya'll know the details, so the right thing to do is the right thing to do.
It's a better world we're making and living in. I wonder how many of the great bands from the 60s and later would still have the same lineup if their members were held to the same standards of SPG.
I literally come back to you guys every day for my daily dose of serotonin. i can't get enough
The video is still just as adorable as ever, and has such a fun, giddy vibe to it! Makes you want to smile and dance along with it :)
We are completely floored by the news. We have become recent fans, and our little daughter can be found singing your songs in the car, around the house, and sometimes while at the store.

Zero's voice gives me serotonin, it's so buttery and smooth
This is absolutely heartbreaking. Spine, Bunny, Zero. I love you so much, and I wish all of you the very best. You continue to be a shining, inspirational light in my life. I've been an avid fan for years and years, and I would absolutely love to see you guys live. Please come to the UK more.
Thank you guys for being so on the ball with this.
Whether you like to reminisce about the old SPG and the previous band members or not, you can't ignore the fact that Zer0/Bryan makes some absolute BANGERS and his contribution to the band is great. He just has a great vibe and I love it

Why oh why has this band not hit the big time?? They have always been working hard and are so caring for their fans. They deserve to have so much success they have been doing this since 2009. Cmon folks get this band to the bigtime. They are so cute funny and talented
Time to put another couple hundred views on this song :)
This is literally PEAK road trip music.
You are so right. I need this for my mix next time I swing out to the big city near me!
Zer0 is so wholesome, I absolutely love him
I'd never heard of this band before this morning. One of the Lets Players I follow posted their stream from last night and someone commented they ran across SPG. The YT'er said he'd been a fan for years. So, had to check them out. Listened to a few songs (who am I kidding. I ended up binging all the music on here) and I'm left with one question. How have I not heard of Steam Powered Giraffe before???
1:17 The Spine getting distracted by the balloon is too pure for this world.
Im here from a cover that u had done of i dont want to set the world on fire by the ink spots and after listening to ur songs im in love i cant wait to hear more music from u all :))
love zero, he has one of the warmest, smoothest voice ever and his songs always rock. catchy rhythms and the lyrics are always sweet. not to mention his robot outfit is cool as hell! ❤ he's got it all! great music video and love to see all you so happy and having fun!
Spine should do a cover of riders on the storm I think his voice is so majestic. Also I do live action role playing and my characters name is Thor shatterstar so I thought this song was quite lovely
Great idea
Seeing you guys have so much fun on set is so heartwarming!
You handled it incredibly, I have so much respect for the band and it’s current members
I'm not a long time fan, but these news sadden me a lot all the same. I really respect you guys for your decisions on how to handle this. Your music came into my life during hard times, and I'd be lying if I said that it didn't help me go through them. Something so joyful and pure like this band must be kept that way, and your honesty and determination in how you handled it proves that you see it too.
Big hugs, and I hope y'all can get some slack for the rest of the year
I wish zero would sing me to sleep every night..so smooth
RIP balloon 2:59
Okay, I have to say! Zero's addition to the bans breathed so much fresh life not only into the band, but into my corner of the world! I love you guys to pieces, and I'm so glad that we get to see you guys do your best work, plus with the addition of the magnificent Zero!
Hey, Zero! In case you read this, I just wanted to thank you for helping me expand on my singing range and introducing me to new styles of singing! You rock!
It really takes a lot to address this publicly. I am impressed at your sense of responsibility and your integrity. 99% of bands would have either denied it or hushed it up. By dealing with it you prove your ethics and it makes me even more fond of you.
Zer0 is incredible and I want more songs with him. He has good energy to add to the amazing music
This video makes me desperately want SPG to be involved with Scooby-Doo in literally any way possible. Movie, episode ANYTHING
I am this close to teleporting over to San Diago, to give yall a hug. Thanks for the editing
This is fantastic! Thank you for purifying this wonderful song for us.
Zer0's voice is amazing deep and rich like good coffee I Love how your songs are so catchy and easy to listen to as for the whole situation this is how a band should react to such circumstances.
I really like what Zero is bringing to the band. It's new, it's different.
Wow, you guys have had a rough couple of weeks. Take care of yourselves, keep up the good work and much love.
Sad, but respectable. Please stay alright SPG. You did the right thing.
I love Steam Powered Giraffe. So unique. All you’re music makes me happy.
These voices blend so well together, its so good!!
I am sorry to hear about the difficulties. I respect your forthrightness in addressing the issue. Take care, folks. Make music!
I don’t like change so I was super nervous when hatchworth left and you guys replaced him with a bass singer but this song in the past few days has quickly grown to one of my favorites. I can’t wait to see what else y’all do! 😁💕💕💕
Van por el camino correcto. Todo nuestro apoyo y cariño para ustedes 🤗
Have to admit I've been out of the SPG loop for a while, I love this new guy though!
If this song doesn't put a smile on your face your heart has rusted.
I am new to Steam Punk Music, so far I have subscribed to two channels Abneypark and The Cog Is Dead. This is my third subscription to a Steam Punk Band. (Unaware of past band history) I wanted to say the two reasons I subscribed to this channel was (1) Steam Powered Giraffe what an Awesome name! and (2) Bryan Barbarin He is so Freaking Awesome! Great Voice, amazing Eye brow action. He is a Sexy Beast and Great Addition to your band!
I'm having the time of my life watching Zer0 have the time of his life.
I hear the influence of Jackie Wilson - (Your Love Keeps Lifting Me) Higher And Higher and musical style of CeeLo Green.
Already addicted to this song!
Beautiful as always
Such a cute song and video, not sure how many times I've watched this! Spine over there being adorable is among the reasons... 😊 ❤🤍🖤
I have been listening for a long time and I love the old style MOTOWN that Zero bring UA-cam.
Love you guys! Can’t contribute now, but totally love you guys.
Chelsea, Camille, and LOTS more Spine, Rabbit and Zero-- what could be better? 😘❤
You guys are so unique and wonderful. I will continue to support you. Kudos to you for nipping “scandal” in the bud.
Reminds me of all the great stuff my dad played when I was a little kid; friends of distinction, tower of power, etc.
I love you Stevie I'm glad you sent me this song and wanted to make it our song
I'm sorry all this went down. You are all amazing and there's a light at the end of the tunnel. Don't let the actions of others bring you down. Stay awesome!
I can't wait to hear more from Zero. ❤️
I really enjoy Zero...I'm looking forward to hearing more of him with you guys!
I like how happy and excited Zero was to read the Patreon paper!
Love the band
Love the video and new song well done guys I love your channel a lot can’t wait to see what you do next
Omg. I love Zer0! I love the bew songs! You all ARE SO CUTE!!! Thanks for putting a smile on my face during quarantimes.
GET OUTTA HERE SO BAD!!! I love you guys!!!! How did it take me so long to find you?????!!!!!!! OMG I was so into steam punk as a teenager (ya'll were too young). I am SOOO glad you all are keepin it alive!!! YES!!!!!!!!
Thank you for this beautiful song!
What a fun track. Definitely deserves more attention!
I'm not sure what I enjoy more. The song, or Zer0 reading the names from Patreon. An-jelll-ah...😁
love this band!!!!
I'm so proud of y'all
I love happy The Spine is in this, he really gets into it, which is something we don't get see often.
I feel there is a lot of Jackie Wilson influence in this song.
Being stoned and also from the end of the punk rock era, I slipped into that universe and felt it with the similar energy and passion, and felt the happiness of a harmonious mosh pit that resembled more a 30- or so partner dance than a slam-pit. A sort of kum-ba-ya but playing a little rough but happy, like pirates 🏴☠ in a pub? Now, to add a bit of antimatter to the space-time machine, and bring these two universes together...
Love the tune, and such a fun video!
Omg! I loved it
