Preston Demands played a good number of shows in NYC before disbanding, and among my personal favorites is the show at the Astor Place Starbucks in Manhattan’s East Village. We had only been playing together for about a week and a half at the time this video was shot, and we ended up taking the cake.

Part two will become available once I get YouTube to unmute the sound for me. If you try to watch the second half, you’ll see this notice:

This video contains an audio track that has not been authorized by WMG. The audio has been disabled.

I think Mike stuck some song that Warner has the publishing rights to at the end of the video (over the credits). It might be a dispute that’s never resolved, but you can always just skip to the end to see my awkward stage presence when I accept the prizes.
