Contributed by resident, Posted by BYO Tours

The Briefs have wrapped up their new video for "Getting Hit On At the Bank," a video directed by none other than the band's former bassist Lance Romance. The video will appear online soon, but before that is premiering in select areas next week. Announcement are currently being made but the band announced that JBTV will premier it in the Chicago area on Wednesday February 15th at 11 PM.

The band is currently on their way to Europe in support of their newest record Steal Yer Heart. That album, released by BYO in 2005, will get a release in France laster this month via Lollipop Records. Included on this edition is a cover of the Damned's "Jet Boy, Jet Girl." The tour includes a number of German dates with the band's fellow Dirtnap alumni the Epoxies.

Upon their return to the States the Briefs will play a tour with the HorrorPops and Left Alone.
