New Video - "Band Name"

New video is up!

Check it out on the YouTube machine.

Spotlight: Vampire-Con!

The YouTube Powers That Be (and the Day That Marks) have deemed our latest video worthy of a spotlight on the comedy page! It's fangtastic. Please forgive that pun.

FAIL

So I was poking around our YouTube page, trying to figure out how to get rid of those pesky embedded advertisements, when I accidentally deleted all of our videos.

I've never experienced a feeling quite like it - not exactly an adrenaline rush, more like a devastating remorse rush. I think I went through all five stages of grief that day.

Luckily, all the videos still existed on (our editor) Erik's hard drive, so I was able to re-upload. But things aren't quite the same. The first episode of Actor Hunters had over 200,000 views, now we're down to 90.

I know we don't do it for the stats, we do it because we love making comedy together, but I still feel like a tiny piece of me died inside. Worst of all, I've let the Statesmen down in an irreversible way.

Maybe this debacle can be seen as a rebirth. Its been over a year since we'd put anything new up, but we now plan to deliver fresh videos on a regular basis. We're starting out this week with a video that almost got us arrested (we'll save that story for later), and in a lot of ways this feels like a new beginning. We're kicking out the cobwebs, I just wish I hadn't messed up so bad while doing it.

Pirate and Ninja Spotlight

We posted another episode following our favorite college roommates, Pirate and Ninja, entitled "Meeting A Lady."


Thanks YouTube, for making it a "Spotlight Video" in the featured comedy section yesterday! We're so pleased, we'll probably make another episode. So keep subscribing, Tube People.

"Spotlight" on the Statesmen

It was a big day for the Younger Statesmen: we were featured as a "Spotlight" video in the comedy section of YouTube! (We like you too, Mark Day).
Thanks to that, and the plug from our very own Danny Tieger and the ever-lovely Julia Nunes, we were ranked # 37 in most comedy subscriptions this month. I'm not really sure what that means, but I think it's cool, right?
And in case you haven't seen it already, Danny and Nunes make beautiful music together.
