video of the week — team robespierre “88th precinct”

The video for “88th Precinct” by FRICTION alums Team Robespierre documents one of the band’s infamous live performances at Brooklyn’s Chicken Hut. Directed by Allen Cordell (Dan Deacon), the video opens with a caped man running along the Nassau Ave. subway platform, which is followed by tripped-out backgrounds of swirling colors and dolls with their heads lit on fire. The rest of the video shows sweaty crowd shots along with shots of the band during their live performance of “88th Precinct.” Psychedelic.

“88th Precinct” is the first single from Team Robespierre’s debut, Everything’s Perfect, out now on Impose. The band celebrates the release of the album on February 1st at Death By Audio.
