How do you make a nearly perfect song more nearly perfect? Well, if you’re Chastity Belt, and the song’s “Joke,” all you gotta do is add some behind-the-scenes tour footage. Layers of sugar coated and crunchy melody adorn this melancholy stoner anthem as the ladies provide a super-fun peek into life on the road. Sure, the hard parts have been edited out…long hours, bad food, debilitating hang-overs, but what’s left is road trippin’ gold! You can find “Joke” on the band’s sophomore LP Time to Go Home, out now on Hardly Art.
Chastity Belt will continue their conquest of the US one city at a time this spring and summer, before heading off for live dates in the UK this coming October. Check ’em out…
