"Neverland" by The dB's

ThedBs.com is pleased to present the premiere of the "Neverland" music video. The footage was shot in 1982 by Phil Marino, who used some of the stills for the cover of Like This. However, the footage languished, The dB's lost touch with Phil, and before you could say "Super 8" a quarter century had gone by.

In no small coincidence, Jake Gorst, filmmaker and creator in 2001 of The dB's Online, knew Phil Marino, although neither knew of the other's connection to The dB's until Jake suddenly realized and asked Phil. The repercussions were enormous. Through this happenstance not only were The dB's reunited with Phil, but he donated quite a bit of material to the band's archives, including the footage before you now. The band has had its ups and downs since way back then, but nothing is wrong with waiting for quality.

Jake has edited the pieces together with Phil's blessing and as originally intended. It's at once ancient history and brand new. Like a vintage clothing store, or 1936 Chateau Lafite Rothschild.

We sure were skinny...
