Description: Shot in 1991 at Art Altenberg's Concertina bar in Milwaukee. Those were regular attendees to Concertina dances at Art's, and happily agreed to be in our video. The bass drum was not rigged like that for our video, they've hoisted that up in the air for years to make room for bands. This was Purple Onions first video and since went onto make videos for The Spanic Boys, Ernie's other band The Rousers, and many others.
