Mighty Joe Castro and the Grvamen music video for Don't Forget About Me

Just in time for All Hallows Eve, we are proud to present the music video for Don’t Forget About Me, the b-side to our new vinyl 45.  Shot and directed by the very talented Bob Sweeney.  It was shot on location at Hidden River Brewey and the historic Brinton Lodge in Douglasville, PA.  Featured cameos included Matones Music owner Adam Matone, the always enigmatic Cantaloupe Joe and the tattooed hands of Hidden River’s chiff brewmaster, Kevin Margitich. Enjoy!

And be sure to pick up a copy of the limited edition vinyl here.  Only 300 were made and they will sell out so don’t sleep on this one.

MIghty Joe Castro and the Gravamen test pressing

We were very excited when the postman dropped off the test pressings for our new 7″ single from United Record Pressing today – we gave them a spin and they sound great.  The first offering from MIghty Joe Castro and the Gravamen on vinyl will feature “Wake Up, You’re Rockin‘” on the A-side, and “Don’t Forget About Me” on the flipside.  Both tracks were recorded with Jim Salamone and Todd Mecaughey at Cambridge Sound Studio in South Philadelphia. These should drop sometime in early October and will be available at our gigs as well as our (upcoming) web store and select record stores.

And if you haven’t done so already, please take a moment to follow us on instagram and facebook.  We’re on Spotfy as well…
