The Falcon made a video for "Sergio's Here," touring w/ Mikey Erg & Arms Aloft

Brendan Kelly says: “The song is told from the perspective of a guy shamelessly trying to get money out of his girl so he can buy drugs from the song’s titular character. The song sounds pretty upbeat, but I think it’s ACTUALLY truly dark.”
