Frank Schweikhardt “Motel” Music Video Released Today
I know we’ve been talking about Kitchen Table for a long time now…afterall, it’s been since 2009 that we’ve last heard from Frank Schweikhardt, but that’s all about to change!
I’m very VERY excited to say that starting now you can see Frank’s first ever music video, and listen to his new single, Motel! The video is composed of footage shot entirely by Frank himself from and inside various motel rooms during his tenure as a tour bus driver for famous musical acts, and it perfectly suits the music. The only humans in the video are distant, sometimes seen from 10 stories up, sometimes only implied by the movement of their automobiles. Everything else about the video, and the song itself, is a point-of-view experience from where Frank stands. The band is tight and robust, Frank’s voice is as intimate as ever, but the focus is undoubtedly spacial.

We’ll have preorder info for Kitchen Table up in a couple of weeks (official release date is 5/14/13), but for now please enjoy Motel and share it with everyone you know!
In other news, thanks to everyone who has participated in the Kitchen Table Test Pressing Raffle so far! The raffle will officially end this morning when Frank arrives at my house. We’ll draw the winning name then and announce the winner to the world! We’ll drop your LP in the mail tomorrow morning. (If you HAVEN’T purchased your raffle ticket yet, there’s still some time…I’d imagine Frank won’t be here for another hour or two. We’ll let the contest run until then, so act fast!)
