Rocky Morningside Releases Video for Single “Tricks Up My Sleeve” in Observance of the Pink Full Moon

Rocky Morningside announced the release of his video for single “Tricks Up My Sleeve” off of his B-side record in observance of tonight’s full Pink Moon.

“I’ve always been a night owl. My most creative ideas have manifested late at night when most people are sleeping. I don’t know factually if the moon has the ability to embolden our biological makeup or behavior but it does something to me and I like it! Full moons enhance my passion and productiveness, so it feels natural to me to unveil my art during that phase of the moon. That said, from here into oblivion you can always expect new music from Rocky Morningside on every full moon! “says Rocky. He adds, “Tricks is a machine driven trek through a incipient mine filled forest shape shifting freebase jump into a partial accelerator. Spray a fresh coat of multidimensional mystery onto your ass pockets and hold on tightly. It’s out there!”
