Like the video for “El Cid,” this one too was shot in California. The costume, the official mascot for local pub The Snug, was shipped from Maine to be worn by an “as yet to be revealed” actor.

The plot was developed by There Is No Sin’s Troy Keiper but Mr. Thenuwara brought a bit of lightness to the theme. Keiper says, “The video had all of the elements that I’d pictured but Rukshan saw the humorous side of the monkey’s life. I adore what he did.”

Take a look!

They’re playing a show at Store 54 this Saturday alongside Boston faves Embrionic. They’re on at about 10:30 from what we hear. For emerging details, you can check out the tour page at the band’s site.

We’ll have a big video announcement coming up next week. It involves that pesky monkey. Stay tuned.

The new CD by There Is No Sin just topped the Best of List by the Portland Phoenix! It was ranked #1 on the list of local releases in 2011 by their resident music guru Sam Pfeifle! Awesome!

One of our favorite quotes reads:

The result is a multi-media (in the old sense) presentation that is filled with the kind of literary melancholy that Hemingway captured in A Moveable Feast, a reveling in the spare and severe.

Yeah! We love that people are starting to hear about the book+CD idea too (lot of hard work making that happen!).

Read the full review at the Portland Phoenix.

They’ll be performing in Cambridge, Boston on Thursday September 22. The show starts at 8:30.

And if you can’t make the show, you can hear an interview live with Troy on on Unregular Radio from Boston.

The U.S. release date for the new There Is No Sin CD We Are Revealed will be October 25th, 2011.

That’s just two months away!

As a featured download in Under The Radar, the CD has been getting a fair bit of attention. The book was recently read on an indie radio program and the band’s intense shows have been creating a buzz. The last show in Portland was sold out!

The band heads to Europe in October to coincide with the European release date, October 4th.

Pre-release sales start September 25th. Reserve your copy and get $4 off! Just add your name to our exclusive and very swanky list:
