New Quasi video: Nowheresville

Video: Quasi – “Nowheresville”

From Breaking the Balls of History, out February 10 on Sub Pop.

I feel like if I had a gorilla suit I’d wear it everywhere. Which is pretty much what the gorilla does in Quasi’s latest video. I hope I’m not spoiling anybody’s experience by suggesting it’s not a real gorilla. But yeah. Gorilla suits are always funny.

Quasi is such a great band. Jane Weiss’ drumming is as gnarly as ever on this one and Sam Coomes’ guitar and keyboard tones are even gnarlier.

Here they come now thoughts and prayers
Thoughts and prayers won’t get you there
But I guess they do make a pretty pair.

Weiss, the most powerful drummer alive today, whose day job is being a locations manager for feature films and television, says, “I put my Locations chops to good use and felt like a real DP filming from the tail gate of the minivan. Great times.”

Shoop!
