Veronica Falls 'Found Love In A Graveyard' Video

My track of 2010 (so far) got the video treatment and it RULES. Veronica Falls is hurriedly becoming my favorite band, and I can't wait to hear more. Their cover of Roky Erikson's 'Starry Eyes' is perfect too. But I digress....here's the vid, check it. Song's called 'Found Love In A Graveyard' and you can get the 7" via Captured Tracks.
