Wild Flag—the superduper group composed of Mary Timony, Carrie Brownstein, Janet Weiss, and Rebecca Cole—just premiered this video for “Romance,” the first single from their self-titled debut (out next Tuesday).
The Tom Scharpling-directed clip shows the Wild Flag members as hard-working corporate women who just so happen to don plastic Halloween masks and run amok in Portland—Jackpot Records, the dog park, Doug Fir, etc.—in their free time. It’s like a wacky, local version of Point Break. But without the surfing, bank robbing, or that steamy Patrick Swayze/Keanu Reeves sex scene (it’s after the credits, duh).
End Hits: “100% pure adrenaline!”
Cool, I’m glad to see the Go Go’s have been reincarnated in the 00’s!
It also features my elite non-acting skills during the dice shooting scene too. That whole weekend was a lot of fun.
