Video: One For The Team - "Ha Ha"

When you're a band setting off to make your first music video, the visual aid to your band's sound/aim/look/profile/idea, you sometimes choose for the bombast. Sometimes, you opt for just a live clip of your band playing--playing very hard. And with feeling. Feeling! Maybe you think that it'd be good to have shot the whole thing while you're recording the song in the studio. Multi-tracking. Overdubs. Getting that snare sound. Just. Right! It's got to be perfect! You can't show too many laughing moments with your bandmates or various close-ups and wide shots of your singer crossing out lines in the lyric sheet. Use that eraser! You need lyric sheets everywhere! Writing this song that you are hearing right now was really hard! Honest!

Not so for Minneapolis, MN indie power pop trio One For The Team. For their first video, of the song "Ha Ha" off the band's Build A Garden EP, the band goes for the jugular. That's right. Their first-ever music video is. About. Bowling!
