Tacocat – “Hey Girl” Video (Stereogum Premiere)
The Seattle punk band Tacocat (whose member Bree McKenna also plays in Childbirth) put out their new album NVM recently, and with directors Eric J. Olson and James Smith they now have this very funny, striking video. Cut-out figures that resemble animated paper dolls perfectly visualize “Hey Girl,” their funny, sarcastic attack on that repulsive creature: the catcalling asshole. The characters described in the song appear here as gaping troglodytes, while the main character skates by leaving them all in the dust. Watch it below.
