Night Panther takes a cue from Beastie Boys in “Fever” video (playing Johnny Brenda’s on 12/21)
Explosions, expletives, exotic dancers - OH MY! Local disco duo Night Panther’s video for their single “Fever” features all the elements you could expect to see in a Tarantino film (plus a car chase!) in just under 12 minutes – but in a lo-fi, campier style, naturally. The video pulls elements of Beastie Boys’ 1994 “Sabotage” video, making its lengthy running time pass quickly with a story of murder, drug wars, and unfulfilled vengeance. (Please note that viewers should watch with caution as all the bold words above appear quite vividly in the video.) You can check out the band playing at Johnny Brenda’s on December 21st- go here for more information.
