Being no strangers to productivity, experimental Americanaists (sure, that's a word) Dastardly have kept busy, putting out their Bury Me In The Country EP in January, playing shows, and releasing countless videos since. Watch one, be teased by another, then prepare for Megachurch! First, Dastardly have released the fourth video in their series "Dastardly in the Country," where they've gradually released six cuts of the band playing on a farm in San Marcos, Texas. This fourth clip here is for "Freight Train," a song from Bury Me:

Next is a spooky teaser for their upcoming clip for Country track "Dirtnap," with frontman Gabe Liebowitz doing a crazy preacher man thing. Check it:

Last, but certainly not least, is Megachurch, a variety show at the Hideout which takes place tomorrow, March 20. The Hideout page describes Megachurch as "an old time western variety show [gone] horribly awry, featuring some of the biggest names in the local comedy scene." Who exactly? Well, that would ruin the surprise, wouldn't it? Find out for yourself tomorrow at 9:00 p.m. for a 21+, $10 show.
