Gaytheist‘s first music video is here! And it’s a punch in the gut. Directed by Whitey McConnaughy and co-starring Portland As Fuck columnist Ian Karmel as a rightfully suspicious convenience store clerk, it’s not for the faint of heart OR stomach. (I guess, considering the track’s lyrics, this might officially qualify as NSFW, or at least earn headphones-on status.)
Depicting the true dangers of rock ‘n’ roll that your parents warned you about, this cautionary tale warns what will happen if you literally ingest Gaytheist’s pummeling, raw-power rawk. That’s Jacob Bean Watson as the reckless and feckless pill popper, and of course that’s Gaytheist playing the Dennis Quaid role from Innerspace. Gaytheist dominated last weekend’s Capitol Hill Block Party and will play Rontoms on Sunday, August 25 with Magic Mouth—that’s gonna be something—and they also play Dante’s on Saturday, September 7 as part of MusicfestNW.
I want to hate them because of the name, but that song and video kicked some ass. At least they didn’t go with Fagnostic.
