Epic Beard Men — the super duo comprised of B. Dolan and Sage Francis — are back with a new video for “Pistol Dave” featuring Slug of Atmosphere and vocalist Blue Raspberry.
The animated visual finds the Epic Beard Men detailing a shady character every touring musician is likely familiar with, while Slug adopts the Pistol Dave persona to anchor the song.
Blue Raspberry, mostly known for her contributions to Wu-Tang Clan material, offers her crooning vocals throughout the track. With animation courtesy of Wasaru, the “Pistol Dave” video doesn’t disappoint.
Sonically speaking, there’s a healthy nod to Slick Rick’s “Children’s Story” with lines such as, “Dave the dope fiend shooting dopes who don’t know the meaning of homie nor bloke.”

“Pistol Dave” comes from the Epic Beard Men’s debut album, This Was Supposed to Be Fun, which was released late last month via Strange Famous Records.
Other contributors to the project include Eligh of Living Legends, South African newcomer Yugen Blakrok, New Orleans Bounce legend Vockah Redu, vocalist Kathleen Stubelek of Circle Takes the Square and San Antonio upstart Worldwide contribute brilliant supporting turns.
The video will arrive on Adult Swim this weekend.
