I receive a number of promotional emails from publicists of various bands and other entertainers weekly. Rarely, however, do I feel the urge to share the work of these artists with my site’s visitors. Today, however, I do. The video below is by Brooklyn’s folk pop collective “Balthrop, Alabama,†and it is a hoot!!!
Â
Balthrop, Alabama – for those of you unfamiliar – is a folk-rock band/town founded in 2006 by Alabama-born songwriter-siblings Pascal and Lauren Balthrop who adopted New York City as their home. With a population of 11 or so, the band released its double-album debut, “Your Big Plans and Our Little Town,†in 2007.
Â
“You’ve Gotta Be Gay†is featured on the band’s new album “We Have Electricity.â€Â The video features celebrated drag performer Murray Hill and is directed by Pascal Balthrop who describes the song as, “…a queer-positive manifesto to the benefits of facing life’s foibles with a smile.” The campy romp is filled with jazz hands and chorus lines and is just plain fun!
Â
Enjoy it and check out their website and YouTube videos.
