Bosses in their Offices – Dinosaur World, Cave City, Kentucky

About Bosses in their Offices: After painting Nashville with Ponhattans the night before, Valentiger was lazily making headway toward Louisville when they spotted a 50-foot Tyrannosaurus Rex just off I-65. They knew what had to be done and pulled into Dinosaur World to set up for filming of the song “Bosses in Their Offices,” which would feature both Shirey and Kehoe on guitar. The late night before and the Southern muggy weather made for a soft, intimately lazy rendition from the duo with Rider filming from the other side of the off-ramp. Take one found Shirey missing a section of the song, though Kehoe gained ideas from improvisation. But on take two, the boys had captured the honest Tuesday afternoon croon heard here. The boys speculated they could have filmed all the videos here, in Cave City, as they noticed an advertised haunted house up on the hill. But just then they noticed they were standing in a drainage ditch, the home of the Kentucky rattler, and skedaddled. They furthered toward Louisville to play Browning’s Brewery, attached to The Bats’ minor league baseball park.
