There’s nothing quite like the energy a video can obtain by gathering together a group of magnificent musicians to record a song (just look at “We Are The World”). The Morning Benders has just this in mind when they recruited a group of local San Fran friends to help out on the opening track of their upcoming release Big Echo. The video for “Excuses” brings in John Vanderslice, Chris Owens of Girls, Gram LeBron of former Rogue Wave and current Port O’Brien fame, The Mumlers and a hoard of other musicians on strings and vocals. The video is absolutely fantastic, although I haven’t heard the actual recorded track, I can only hope that it matches the sound from this video to some degree.

Look below the video to download another track from Big Echo, “Promises”.
