Gibbs-Testimony ('Nu Thang' Response)

Northwest Honda Commercial

Looks like we might have some local celebrities on the rise! Bellingham band The Bad Tenants are being featured in the above commercial for NW Honda. The music playing in the commercial is "Even a Hustler," which will end up being the first single off the band's next EP, said Bad Tenants vocalist Casey Gainor (aka C-Spot).

The commercial was made by local production company Darkheart Visions, a company that frequently supports local musicians. Gainor said the company and the band had been talking about filming an upcoming music video, so Darkheart Visions had some of their unreleased music, which made it's way into the commercial.

"It was a surprise, but it was a good surprise," Gainor said. "We're excited they wanted to help support local bands."

The Bad Tenants are a four-man band whose alternative hip-hop style comes from a background of "blues music and college degrees." They're currently working on a full-length album.

So far, Gainor said he's only seen the commercial on the Internet. But the well-done and humorous video of boys being boys could go viral at any moment. For C-Spot and the Bad Tenants, it's an exciting step on their hip-hop journey.

"It's an odd mix between thinking the commercial's funny, and being in awe of the fact that my music is in the background," Gainor said.

You can check out the Bad Tenants yourself on April 27. They'll be doing a benefit show with 100 percent of door fees going to Amy's Place.
