Sex, drugs and mass carnage: Mr. Gnome's extended video for "Vampires" released

Click image above to watch video


"The awesome rush of sound that comes out of Nicole Barile's lungs and guitar and Sam Meister's drums seems much bigger and more powerful than anything two people are capable of. Mr. Gnome don't really sound like anyone else, and their ghost-ridden songs only make sense with a dreamtime logic." -- LA Weekly


The Cleveland duo with a rapifly growing cult following among musicians, critics and fans alike, Mr. Gnome has released an extended video for the song "Vampires" (watch it HERE) from its recent album Heave Yer Skeleton.  The short film features the band performing on a children's television show that goes horribly awry in a frenzy of mass carnage. 

The band is currently on tour throughout the US (see complete dates below) after putting the finishing touches on a new album -- once again recorded at Josh Homme's (QOTSA, Them Crooked Vultures) Pink Duck Studios in Los Angeles -- where Mr. Gnome also recorded its previous album, Heave Yer Skeleton 


Check out an MP3 for the lead track, "Three Red Birds" from the recent Tastes Like Magic EP HERE. The band has also released a third song from its latest full-length, Heave Yer Skeleton -- the swooning "Plastic Shadow" is available HERE

Chan "Cat Power" Marshall fronting Queens of the Stone Age? Karen O leading Death From Above 1979? Cleveland duo Mr. Gnome has been given many unusual comparisons, all of which seem to indicate the band's spectacularly unique sound. And, while none seem to fully capture the band's loftily heavy-beautiful music, Mr. Gnome continues to captivate and inspire writers and audiences alike.
