Here’s the new video for “Big Steam,” a great solo single from Mission of Burma’s Roger Miller made available on vinyl from Good Road Recordings. The clip was directed and edited by Boston-based Will C.

Mission of Burma are in Texas this weekend (Dan’s Silverleaf in Denton tonight and Antone’s in Austin on Saturday), then hitting the Midwest Sept 26 - 29 (Milwaukee, Minneapolis, Madison and Chicago).

I was lucky enough to be in attendance at the “final” Mission of Burma gig in 1983 when they opened for Public Image Ltd. at the Paramount Theater in Staten Island. The venue itself should have been condemned, it’s one of the crappiest, shittiest places I’ve ever stepped foot in—a tetanus shot should have been given with each ticket purchase—but man what an intense double bill.
