Golden Suits, the solo project of Fred Nicolaus of Department of Eagles, debuted the official music video for the song “Swimming in ’99” today. In the video, Nicolaus tries to buy all the Short Stories of John Cheever – the inspiration for both the song and the album – in Manhattan within 24 hours.  Watch the video and read an in-depth interview with Nicolaus HERE on The Rumpus, and in the player below.  Also see below for Golden Suits tour dates this fall.
