If that’s the drummer from JET (middle), I will punch the face of Death. The female figure… Neko Case or Jenny Lewis? I’d prefer Case. Hell - it might be that “Rehab” woman/thing. Far right shadow is Cass McCombs - for sure.

I really do think he deserves it. I have not been dissapointed in any albums since they changed their styles starting with satanic panic in the attic. I cannot wait for False Priest this spring!!! Kevin, you are my hero.
