Buy the album.

The Both (Aimee Mann and Ted Leo) are set to release their self-titled debut next week, April 15 on SuperEgo, and have just shared a new video for “Milwaukee.” The video, directed by Daniel Ralston, features a storyline revolving around that one uncle everyone has. In this case, its Ted’s uncle, “Ed Leo,” who ends up filling in on a few dates after the band's real drummer takes a few gigs in Europe. All sorts of mayhem ensues, from “Ed” filling the stage with fog and wearing heavy black makeup for shows, to mispronouncing backing vocals, to being extremely excited to drive the van (and grilling out while driving, of course), and even planning to make some side money from Aimee and Ted’s possessions.  Check out the video below and catch The Both stopping at Metro for a show on May 9. Tickets can be purchased here.

Daniel Ralston isn't asking for much, L.A. Weekly. Give him what he wants, because believe me, he's not the only one who wants it.
