Ahead of the release of his debut album, ‘Excellent Musician’, later this month, Wesley Gonzalez has released a new single, ‘Piece Of Mind’.

Of its video, which sees Gonzalez and his band performing at the Rio cinema in Dalston, he says: “We arrived at the Rio Cinema at 11.30pm on a Wednesday, full of piss and vinegar with a bag of cans. Joe, on the bass, had been working at a trendy food cart all day and was almost asleep by the time we got there – it didn’t help that it was absolutely roasting outside”.

“I was sweating profusely, constantly dabbed down by Euan and frequently re-applying my professional make up (one base of foundation with a bit of hair conditioner, very profesh)”, he continues. “We finished at 5am, which helped accelerate the manic performances by the end. By the time I got home my flatmates were getting ready to go to work and presumed I was on the sesh, but as some work had been involved I could easily deny it”.

How did the video turn out? Well, like this:
