Starting to feel like I’ve been writing about Caustic Casanova a lot lately. The D.C./Maryland four-piece have put out two live albums this year — so far; you never know when another might show up — they had another video for “Memory King” from 2019’s God How I Envy the Deaf (review here), earlier this week they announced a string of we’re-back-out-on-the-road-in-the-plague-era tour dates that you can see below, and now they’ve got this Hourglass Session clip for “Filth Castle/Poor Wigs” that worked out to be kind of too cool not to post.

So hey, here’s some more about Caustic Casanova. They’re still righteous. They’ve apparently grown out their hair since the last time they took a promo picture. This video shows them at the Sky Stage in Frederick, Maryland, which seems to have gotten hold of your old high school bleachers and put them to frickin’ awesome use. “Filth Castle” has featured on both the aforementioned live outings the band issued in 2021, which can be streamed near the bottom of this post, and came from the 2019 album. Here, as on the new EPPPCOT (Experimental Protoprog Psych Punk Concert on Tour), “Filth Castle” is paired with the slower ending “Poor Wigs” and it works to an effect I can only call delightful. You’ll also find the band surrounded by colorful, animated birds, because we live in an age of wonders after all and sometimes things in the universe are okay and it doesn’t always have to hurt all the time so there.

That’s t it. They have a bit about this version of the song that came through in a Bandcamp update email, and again, their tour dates are down below for those feeling adventurous. Anytime you guys want to stop through Tabor Firehouse in scenic Morris Plains, NJ, let me know and I’ll book out the room. Cheers.

Watch them kill it:

Caustic Casanova, “Filth Castle/Poor Wigs” Hourglass Session

Hey, we just dropped a new LIVE music video! It was filmed at a truly unique outdoor art space / concert venue in Frederick, MD, name of Sky Stage. It was filmed and edited by Tyler Scheerschmidt, recorded, mixed and mastered by Dillon Douglasson, and animated by Josh Cromwell. Together these guys make up Hourglass Sessions, a group making amazing live music videos and doing super cool livestreams out of Richmond, VA. Check them out and subscribe to their channel, it’s one of the most unique music series we’ve come across, and we’re thrilled to be a part of it.

This is the first professionally recorded version of “Filth Castle” we’ve done as a four piece – you’ll notice some extra harmonies and other sonic details that make it different from the studio version, as well as a entirely different guitar solo section featuring Jake and Andrew. PLUS the doomy outro is a separate song – “Poor Wigs” – which we’ve been doing on tour as long as Jake’s been in the band. Watch the full video at the link below, please leave a comment, and, again, subscribe to the Hourglass Sessions channel!
