Premiere: The Giving Tree Band "Dead Heroes"

Here is the official video for “Dead Heroes” from the Giving Tree Band’s new album Vacilador (with a special appearance by Jaik Willis). Here’s what the group’s Todd Fink has to say about the video: “its a symbolic story of fighting for what you believe in, whatever that may be. The gold heart has become a logo of the band and a recurring theme in the band’s art and presentation- it represents our higher self and not losing yourself. The song is also about moving on and finding your own way after losing someone you’ve looked up to and were inspired by.”

Coolest video I’ve seen in 25 years, you know what happened to MTV. Thanks guys you are NOT ONLY a great live band. I’m sorry I didn’t p/u a CD last Saturday at the show in Charleston. We are you playing thanksgiving eve?

A truly wonderful, moving video. At 66 years of age, I am reminded of the music of my youth—but that’s true of just about everything you guys do! Love it, love it.

I’ve seen these guys twice now in Chicago and also met 2 key members of the band before a show at the HOB – they are incredible performers and I hope the word spreads that the Giving Tree Band rocks!

Wonderful video. As Mary Ann stated it is like music from my youth, (over 60 years ago). It is possibly too early in your careers but are you thinking of playing Europe?
