Here is a video of Snow Beast performing a group meditation for a packed Baltimore crowd at the Baltimore Round Robin Reunion show at Sonar last December.
Below is a video of the Round Robin Tour. It's awesome. Snow Beast comes in around 5:26 with a very special dedication.

Look you total dorks, we haven't updated in a while. Get off our backs. Okay, nobody was actually on our backs. At all. But look. We've been "BUSY"!
ONE: WE MOVED We now live and die everyday in Baltimore, MD. East Coast. In other words, we no longer live in OAKLAND. This is sad/great. Baltimore is like your cool, poor, scrappy cousin, but not like Scrappy Doo, that dude SUCKS. But in other words, Ben and Erin WERE separated, NOW they are back.
TWO: MONEY ????????? All I'm going to say is, I didn't have ANY money, now I have a LITTLE money. This is the cherry on top of a 6 month long poop sundae.
THREE: LIFE The past few months have not been EASY. We've put our heads ENTIRELY inside the lion's mouth. Don't worry, we are more than okay. Tell our enemies that we're back and stronger than ever. Our muscles will HURT them.
HERE'S THE GOOD NEWS: A psychic told my mother that I was going to be successful in TWO YEARS. So let's make it happen. The psychic also told my mother that I was completely broke. Then my mom yelled at me. Always tell your mother the TRUTH, if you don't, a psychic will.
Okay okay. This is what we're up to now. It's a buffet and we got a lot on our plates. This is just the tip:
New Website Our old website is, let's say, a little 2007. I'm in the process of updating the "___" out of it. It's going to slow down your computer and annoy you INSTANTLY. But the videos will be HQ.
New Videos We have more new videos coming than Mr. Hats gots hats. But look, you gotta have patience, things are HAPPENING for us. We are doing a lot of MUSIC VIDEOS. This is cool, not lame. Trust me. Here's a few bands we are working with:
Here at Showbeast Labs, we're working on a video for the Heightman. For the opening title, we thought it would be neat to have something reminiscent of old Sesame Street stop-motion animations:
So in true Showbeast fashion we made the jankiest rig ever. The still camera is pinched between the two planks of wood. The lens points down at the cutouts, which are arranged on the floor.
Last night, Kasey burst into my room, shrouded in a cloak and dripping with mystery. As I sopped up the mess she was making, she handed me a letter wrapped in brown paper and tied up with string. There was some mustache hair taped to the outside. When I started to speak, she raised one finger to my lips, silencing me before turning into an raven and disappearing into the night. Here is the letter, exactly as it is written:
Dear Friends of Showbeast,
It is with great excitement that I compose this missive, as there are many changes taking place at the Ghost House. Westby took over the computer that controls the universe, and he's bouncing between dimensions. Leader-less, his henchmen have really let themselves go, drifting aimlessly about the house with their machetes hanging limply at their sides. Games of Scrabble have turned into sad affairs, with many of the words relating back to their missing megalomaniac.
In other news, the Showbeast gang have started a rap group. Expect the video for our latest jam "Humans Are Animals" soon!
In even more other news, Snow Derrick and Jane Plearn have just welcomed a wee one into the world. He's adorable, but he's always covered in blood and blowing up planets.
