One hundred and twenty seconds is all it takes to get weird when Zip-Tie Handcuffs are involved.
Today the Boston cyclone-rock trio unveiled a new video for “Weird Being,” the closing track off last fall’s Sundream LP, and the appropriate follow-up to bone-rattling single “Psychotic Dance”.
If “Psychotic Dance” was the soundtrack to shenanigans in the rock club, “Weird Being” is the scene where Zip-Tie Handcuffs are running away from the scene of the crimes. And true to its name, the video gets weird.
“Yeah, we got a little weird,” admits Zip-Tie guitarist/vocalist Matthew Ford. “Face-on-face projections — it was bizarre.”
Zip-Tie Handcuffs will rock out the Rock and Roll Rumble next month, and as we learned last night, they lay down their guitar riffage on Night 5 of the preliminary round: Friday, April 17 alongside Nate Leavitt Band, Murcielago, and the Dirty Looks.
Zip-Tie play the final slot, at 11:45 p.m., so they’re either cleaning up or throwing down, depending on your perspective. Either way, by two minutes in we’ll know what’s up.
Get properly warped for it all with the “Weird Being” video below…
