New Maybenauts videos - including a new song!
These are from our last show at Lucky Number and filmed by Lenny Jimenez - thanks Lenny!
This is You're Not Aware, an original that will be on our upcoming EP:
This is our 80s girl group medley trainwreck followed up by our original, Girlfight. If you're curious, it goes: She Bop (Cindy Lauper) - We Got the Beat (The Go-Go's) - Walk Like an Egyptian (The Bangles) - I Want Candy (Bow Wow Wow) - Girlfight (The Maybenauts). Holy wow! This psychotic medley has been retired for now... so enjoy it on video!
And last but certainly not least, it's our brand new song, Blue Line. We wrote this one about three weeks ago and this is the first time we'd ever performed it live:
