While you're still in the 'While We're Becoming' mood - check out the series of videos I had my friend John Moessner film documenting the making of it! We're releasing a new video every Wednesday this month on YouTube. The first two are up now. They're really fun and insightful and beautifully shot, if I do say so myself. Here's the latest:

Thank you for showing the EP some love on iTunes. We're in the top 20! We also wanted to tell you that we are taking pre-orders for some LIMITED EDITION VINYL that is coming out on the 23rd of March! We only pressed 500 copies, and we are expecting them to go quickly. I also printed up the vintage 'Matt Wertz-blingin' since '79' shirts from the first 2 years of my career to accompany the Vinyl pressing (get it? - they listened to RECORDS in 1979!).

#wertzwednesday is going to look a little different over the next 2 months, but I think you'll enjoy it nonetheless- no 'raffle' this time..

I'm going to post a new video every Wednesday and will tweet the link here- all I'm asking is that you enjoy the fire out of it and retweet that mutha!

Let the games begin- PART ONE (of 4) OF THE MAKING OF THE NEW - enjoy!
