NEW BUMBLEFOOT INSTRUMENTAL-GUITAR SINGLE 'PLANETARY LOCKDOWN'

It was early March 2020, on tour with Sons Of Apollo in Europe, as the COVID-19 coronavirus numbers were quickly escalating. We made it through 4 shows of our 20-show European tour before we had to pull the plug, leave half our gear in storage and urgently head for home. It was a race to get back as the door was slamming shut behind us. Europe was shut down. And within days, the world. This song was inspired by that feeling of urgency, that race... completed while in self-isolation, the song was fittingly titled 'Planetary Lockdown'.

NEW BUMBLEFOOT INSTRUMENTAL-GUITAR SINGLE 'CINTAKU'

This is the first instrumental guitar song I've written & recorded in a long time... most songs come to me when I least expect it, not with a guitar in hand, but with a flood of emotion. Cintaku means "my love" - I was thinking of those moments in life that feel like the greatest euphoria... like Heaven. How as long as you've experienced this kind of feeling, even if only once, then life was worth living. That feeling when looking back, missing it, yet at the same time so fully grateful to have lived it...

*At some point, I'll make a full transcription of the guitar parts and an audio backing track, and release those too. (That may take a while!)

Thank you :)

"Don't Know Who To Pray To Anymore" music video - exclusive premiere by Loudwire.com

Loudwire.com has premiered the ambitious music video for "Don't Know Who to Pray to Anymore" from the latest Bumblefoot album Little Brother Is Watching.

Clocking in at over seven minutes, "Don't Know Who to Pray to Anymore" is a true return to form for the epic music video format, with storyline footage showcasing characters in various stages of life, from childhood to adult, hitting an emotional 'rock bottom', faced with a life-changing choice. The stories are left open-ended, so you can ask yourself what choice you would make.

"This song speaks for those that feel lost, betrayed, disillusioned, when we question all we believe in. When we start to lash out, and punish ourselves." says Thal. "This is a song about being in this place, in our own personal purgatory. We know we need to heal, but we're not ready to let go."

Directed by Vojan Koceic, "Don't Know Who..." was a massive undertaking, filmed in three countries at 12 locations, including the Western Wall in Jerusalem, and gaining exclusive access to ancient Roman ruins by the Jordanian border, with the distinction of being the only music video to ever have been shot there (filmed by Director of Photography Ami Bornstein). Additional band performances were filmed in Croatia at the Fortress of Klis and the Diocletian Palace (locations seen on the TV show "Game of Thrones"), plus an additional 8 sets and featuring more than 50 actors.

"This video needed to be filmed in locations that have a deep historic and spiritual presence." says Thal. Additional filming locations included The Grianan of Aileach Ring Fort at a hilltop in Northern Ireland.

"Little Brother Is Watching" music video - exclusive premiere by Billboard.com

"Director Gabriella Loutfi took a real cinematic approach with the song subject - rather than showing the current evolution of Orwell's 1984 "Big Brother", we turned the clock back to 1984 BC, showing how power struggles for control and order are timeless. The video plays out like chapters of a story - dominating rule, a demand for instant gratification, a revolt and the tables turn. Gabriella gave a 'tip of the hat' to pioneer filmmakers like George Melies, often choosing organic methods rather than digital effects. An example is the drowning scenes - long blue and white sheets stretching across a room, each end held by crew, being rippled and waved by hand as the actors would descend between them."

"Big THANK YOU to Gabriella and the crew, actors & ol' friends, Lainie Speiser for hooking up our HQ NYC location and the wonderful guests Maryjean, Anju McIntyre & Lux Suicide... and of course the band! Dennis Leeflang (drums), Rocco Monterosso (guitar) & Frankie Italiano (bass). And the queen, "Mrs Foot"! Thank you for 'watching' the video, I hope you enjoy!"
