Crickets (Dredg video album)

The Crickets DVD was a promotional item that was to be given away with copies of Dredg's second album, El Cielo, on tour. It was first given away by band members during the March 2003 SnoCore tour. As this concert was not heavily advertised many fans were unaware the event was taking place, never receiving a copy. In an effort to make up for this, for a limited amount of time anyone who spent $50 or more at dredg's webstore received a signed copy with their purchase.

The DVD consists of three sections. The first is the band's Electronic Press Kit, the second a long video entitled "An Elephant in Halong Bay" which begins with the El Cielo track "Brushstroke: An Elephant in the Delta Waves" and ends with "Halong Bay", a b-side from the El Cielo recording sessions. Around eight minutes of footage in between the two tracks shows various video clips of the band. Two other b-sides played during the videos include "walter's sound track" & "birds". The third section of the DVD is the music video for "Same ol' Road".

This DVD is now out of print.
