Milwaukee-bred/LA-based indie rock band Big Mother Gig are pleased to present the brand new music video for “The Doctor Will See You Now,” the latest single to be lifted from the Friday, April 30 release of its brand new full-length album titled Gusto. A pretty overt admission of sobriety being a work in progress, “The Doctor Will See You Know” is frontman Richard Jankovich’s attempt at a proud declaration of being sober, even at the risk of seeming corny. The song is also a fun poke at the whole industry of care. “Recovery starts with self-care and it’s a very LA thing to even use terms like ‘self-care’,” Jankovich says. “We all think if we can just get better, everything will fall into place. Like the idea of a magic pill–just getting to the right doctor will make us better. Kale juice cleanse, hot yoga, meditation. Self-care both saves me daily and mortifies my Midwestern sensibilities.”

The video, which stars Eric Shah (Ballet Master Arturo Fernandez, Inland Pacific Ballet) and Jill Bartlett (Amazon's One Mississippi, Disney's Amphibia, Comedy Central's American Body Shop), tries to capture the meaning of the song as well in that sometimes it takes another person to help us see what's wrong with us. This can be true of our addictions–we're often blind to what is wrong with us until another person identifies it.
