New Video: The Kids Are All Wrong

on December 6, 2015December 6, 2015 by tegmedia

With the release of the Low’s dual singles, Ron’s friends at Resonator caught the recording process on camera. The clip for “The Kids Are All Wrong” takes viewers into the studio with the band, where they were “pounding on drums, slashing guitar chords and screaming into microphones” over the course of two days.

The behind-the-scenes footage is just a sneak peek at a mini-documentary project that’s in the works. But before the full details are revealed, let the anticipation build by watching the video for “The Kids Are All Wrong” below.

The DGA are up for best band this year in the Now reader’s poll. And I’m up for best Songwriter and best male singer. Feel free to vote for Hayden, but I’d prefer if you voted for me.

And Lowest of the Low fans… we’ll see you all this summer at various shows in Toronto and Stateside.

DGA fans look for us in your home town and at the Turf Festival in Toronto. We are also launching into recording our next album in November.

New Kingdom of the Sun Video

on January 19, 2015March 30, 2015 by tegmedia

Check out the first of a couple DGA videos from Southern Souls and the great Mitch Fillion.
This one is called Kingdom of the Sun and was shot at the Don Jail in Toronto. What a weird coincidence that two members of the band have had a total of 4 incarcerated family members in that fine institution.
