Dogs vs. Cats Tour Promo Video


This is a sketch we made to help raise funds for the Dogs vs. Cats Tour in 2013, which was my first proper tour and also Phoebe Novak’s first proper tour, and the name of our split EP we released to coincide with it.

Filmed in the backroom at NYC’s historic Sidewalk Cafe, a room that was basically our second home for awhile and launched a lot of our careers.

Also noteworthy because I play an early version of “Tom Turkey” with Phoebe Novak!

If you haven’t already, you might want to check out Phoebe’s music, to see why she’s one of NYC’s most beloved singer-songwriters of all time.

Starring Bob Black, Jesse “Cannonball” Statman, Phoebe Novak, Joe O’Leary, Robin Goldsmith, Jesse Sternberg, Tom Deck, and Stu Richards.

Written, directed, and edited by Jesse “Cannonball” Statman, Phoebe Novak, and Bob Black.
