This morning and afternoon, I had the pleasure of filming a music video for Norman band TYRANNOCAT before their 10PM performance on Saturday at Earth Rebirth’s Monthly Audio Detox party. You can find the venue at 325 E. Comanche St, and there’s usually over 100 people in the door. Many come after the bars close since the party lasts until 4AM.
Shooting a video of TYRANNOCAT before the performance at Earth Rebirth
Cedar, the lead singer of TYRANNOCAT, wrote the untitled song for this music video. The lyrics involve squirrels. Squirrels running. A lot.
So, I naturally assumed it was a metaphor for how we rush through our daily lives without enjoying the small moments.
Not quite.
“Actually no,” Cedar said. “I’m singing about all the roadkill squirrels I see around town, and how that’s what happens to our brains when our lives become ruled by addiction and pleasure seeking to escape the suffering of life.”
The party runs tonight, Saturday Feb. 20, from 9PM to 4AM. TYRANNOCAT and other live bands will play from 9PM – 11PM.
It costs $5 at the door and is 18 and up. Proceeds go to local nonprofit Earth Rebirth, which offers gardening services and distributes gardens at local Norman public schools.
