8889 "An Introduction" from My Music Plan Live at High Noon Saloon Madison, WI Jan 5, 2005 PODCAST EXCLUSIVE!

This was my very first attempt at capturing video of a full song, and at the time I thought it was a complete failure. For the first half of the year or so, I thought a lot of my clips were coming out too dark to be of use -- later on I found out that my processing application, AviSynth, handled the darkness quite well. I had totally forgotten about this clip by that point though, and just remembered I had it while archiving some of the other 2005 videos.

8889 released their debut EP at this show, and I went to it because a $5 local show (with free CD!) sounded like a good idea. I had never heard of them or their openers, but their midwestern power-pop was pretty pleasing. Another band on the bill, the Moon and Mars, really impressed me, but I haven't had a chance to see them again yet.
