“…a sprawling double-album assault…” – ROLLING STONE

“ [Shout! is] packed with some of the most powerful songs the band has ever recorded…” – BILLBOARD

October 28, 2013 – New York, NY - Gov’t Mule has released their fan-made music video for “Funny Little Tragedy” featuring Elvis Costello. PRESS HERE<http://vevo.ly/Nqdqlv> to watch or embed the stop-motion clip which recently premiered<http://www.rollingstone.com/music/videos/govt-mule-raids-fruit-bowl-in-funny-little-tragedy-premiere-20131025#ixzz2ikc6K1sI> on RollingStone.com. It will cause you to never look at fruit the same way again.

The video’s creator Ryan Louie was chosen as the winner of the Genero.tv contest, which put out a call to action in partnership with Gov’t Mule several months ago for fans to create their own video for the song.  Fans could choose to make a video for either version of “Funny Little Tragedy” – the Mule-only song sung by Warren Haynes, or the version featuring the incredible Elvis Costello.

Gov't Mule's Warren Haynes commented: "We opened this up to fans to see what kind of creative treatments folks would come up with for this song, and got some amazing submissions - and this one is truly something original."
