Is Ryen in Nada Surf's new music video?

I could be completely wrong, but i noticed a very Ryen-like character on a bike in Nada Surf's video for 'Whose Authority". I figured it was a possibility that it was in fact him, seeing as how the singer/guitarist of Nada Surf contributed to Pasadena. You can see what I'm talking about at round 2 minutes and 28 seconds. Let me know if I'm right, or if I'm just getting my hopes up!

I'm not ruling out the possibility, but I can't tell who you're talking about in the video. The only bicyclist that we really get any close view of at all is the primary guy, and I'm relatively sure that's not Ryen. At 2:28, all I see is the main guy and a dude walking on the sidewalk.

I think they meant 1:28. The guy on the other bike is dressed how I've seen Ryen dress before (stocking cap, sports coat type thing, etc.), but it's not Ryen.

yeah that other guy on the bike looks a littttttttttttttttttttle bit like ryen could possibly look, but thats not him.

ooops, i definitely ment 1 minute, not 2. but it seems the general consensus is that i was mistaken anyway. oh well! well, how does everyone like the song, good no?

I like the CD a lot for the most part. They recently did KCRW's Morning Becomes Eclectic, and played some really good acoustic versions of the new songs.

oh man, the album is fantastic. I'm very glad they continue to make records. Every record just keeps getting better and better.

machatte · March 21, 2008, 11:17:04 PM

Ryen, its awesome that you've been hanging around the boards lately. You should continue to do such. Giving us updates on TGB and whatnot.

lol.

Ryen is more like a beast--a lion, or a bear.
