There’s no way in hell that Jordan Dally, aka J. Irvín Dally, and his two cousins knew what they were getting themselves into when they agreed to film a Buzzsession with us last Friday evening.  Fresh off of our shoot with Tokyo Police Club (@tokyopoliceclub), Austin and I drove the cube truck to Dally’s brother’s apartment in Manhattan’s Murray Hill.  This trip didn’t come without a cost.  After making an illegal left, a cop pulled us over and handed over a $150 ticket.  Well worth it.

From the minute I met Jordan and his cousins, it was if we’d known each other for years.  We quickly went over the general concept of the shoot while we loaded their instruments into the truck.  I told Jordan all about the bond I felt with his music, of the inclusion of his track “Salt Water” on a sexy mixtape I made for a sexy lady, and of my excitement in getting to see him perform.  Not an awkward moment, I swear!

When everything was ready to go, we headed down to Tompkins Square Park in the East Village, and let the shooting begin.  Make sure to watch all three of the videos below. First from the park, second from the makeshift truck stage, and the final from the back of a moving truck. And don’t let me forget the video Austin Conroy edited of the band playing whilst the truck was in motion! Thanks to all involved in this shoot.

‘Buzzsessions’ is a live session series made by The Wild Honey Pie.  With each new episode, we travel with a different band to a different part of New York City and record sometimes-intimate/sometimes-wild versions of two or three songs which are given away for free.
