Video of the Week: Tele Novella “Trouble in Paradise”

June 16, 2014 By Nick Hanover Leave a Comment

Tele Novella

We might have a weakness for Dia de los Muertos imagery here at Loser City, but even if we didn’t, Tele Novella’s new video for “Trouble in Paradise” would have caught our eye anyway.

Moontower Day One John Bender: My first stop at this year’s Moontower Festival was the happy hour at the Moontower Lounge (upstairs in the Stephen F. Austin Hotel).
