We recently released a new single called “Untogether,” which was “loosely based on recent events” in the aftermath of the divisive Brett Kavanaugh Supreme Court hearings. Dave Derby describes it as a song about a person whose lifelong dream is in danger of being thwarted by dark secrets in his past reaches out to friends to ensure their cooperation and hint that he might have in fact have some dirt on them. The band shot a lo-fi video of the song replete with re-enacted bar fights and copious beer drinking.
The song was written by Derby and mixed by Ray Ketchem. The song and video features performances by Gramercy Arms members Claudia Chopek, Renee Lo Bue, Verena Wiesendanger, Ray Ketchem, Lysa Opfer, Jamie Kilguss, Richard Alwyn-Fisher, Gary Burton, Rafa Maciejak, and Rainy Orteca.
