We were lucky the photos weren’t very clear, so nobody was able to prove it was us who were involved in the fight. We definitely decided not to go to that bar anymore.


We continued working in the studio, fleshing out a few more songs. We had ten planned and three done. But there was still likely to be work needed on them.


We also spent a few days filming a music video. We decided to title our album after Casey’s song, “Werewolves Broke My Heart.” We all got to wear cool makeup for the video, and act all animalistic as we roamed around. The director of the music video, who was a big fan, made it a point to have some hot shirtless guy in it when I was on the screen several times.


His concept was that we are all animals, even if only some of us look like it. So, this super hunk prowled after me in the video, stroking my furry body and face. It was pretty erotic.
