“MBBL” is one of the tracks from the album that made the transition to a trio in a live setting. Doing it without violin and guitar made for a challenge — especially for me on the Stick, since I covered both the bass and guitar parts. When playing live, Alicia DeJoie would occasionally join us to fill in the violin part. Here’s a video of us doing it at the Royal Room in Seattle on 3 May 2015, after the album had been recorded, but before it had been released.
The plain one-camera shoot seemed very static, so I took the liberty of messing around with it.
