New Pela Video - "Lost To The Lonesome"

Pela's the sort of band that makes raving fanatics out of their concert audiences, converting crowds with hearty, room-expanding arena rock. And the vid for Veronica Mars's fave Pela tune "Lost To The Lonesome" sees producers Katie MacKenzie and Matt Piancentini of Vitamin M playing on that, getting Billy and the rest of the guys up as traveling salesmen/preacher types, traversing that old timey www (the wild wild west), peddling their personal brand of elixir, converting the masses. Or, really, slaying the masses. Cool video, but never again will we eat their paella.

"Lost To The Lonesome" comes from the band's Anytown Graffiti, available via Great Society. The band's holed up in an LA studio working on the next LP -- check the progress through posts to their studio blog and snippets at their YouTube page.

The song is decent, but the video is really fucking amazing/quality.

*Props to the director

I friggin' love Pela. I was right at the edge of the stage and talked to the bassist a bit when they were here at the KEXP BBQ this summer. Great energy. Lost to the Lonesome is really a fantastic song too.

The entirety of Pela's Anytown Grafiti is amazing. I'm glad they have an excellent video to jump start their appreciation level.

Amazing video. "Anytown Graffiti" is easily my favorite album of the year. Can't wait to hear their next record.
