Ego Wrecking Ball
The Bangups
Oh, man, one of our perennial faves. The Bangups are a rock duo who were looking to crank out a killer video for a killer single. But how do you freshen up the genre and make it into weird art that you’d print out, frame, and hang on your wall?
Co-directors Seth Johnson and Stephen Pell delivered the goods. Creating a cheeky, bizarre, and disturbingly furry world of betrayal, violence, and kitty-yarn, the crew made a film we continue to keep in rotation, even after its premiere on MTV. And yes. We printed out stills, framed them, and hung them on our wall.
