This build removes the YouTube version's intentional cinematography, instead allowing viewers to WASD their way around the environment. To prove this, the band decided to keep the indie spirit alive by launching its video as an interactive executable you can even "play" it within a web browser. The video "Greatness Waitress" was instead built using the immediate-rendering flexibility of the Unity 3D game engine, and its limited geometry means it'll run on most any gaming-capable PC. It's the band's first 3D-rendered music video, but in fitting indie-rock fashion, this isn't the result of a Pixar-caliber computer farm rendering each frame to immaculate, ray-traced levels. For a hint of what the band really looks like, a series of TVs flashes pictures and video snippets throughout the song. Its music video follows suit, posing fictional, geriatric band members as 3D-rendered cartoon characters (drawn by lead singer and songwriter Eric Michener) on a ramshackle stage. The single sounds appropriate for a grungy basement venue or a friend's backyard, somehow simultaneously loud and intimate, with an animated, teenage jubilation. In its newest single, nasal vocals wistfully spin a meta-narrative yarn about a struggling indie-rock band, and the words glide over heavily percussive piano and fuzzed-out guitar: I often perform, you should come take a look / but you can't take a look, the band's on a break / and the time that we took was specifically taken / on waiting. This long-running pop-rock group out of Denton, Texas, compares favorably to the likes of They Might Be Giants, Weezer, and Ben Folds. "Greatness Waitress" is the lead single for Waitsgiving, the upcoming seventh album by Fishboy. The non-interactive version of "Greatness Waitress" by Fishboy.
