"Who's In Control?" *
Playing at: Maxwell's (1039 Washington St., Hoboken)
Info: Tickets ($15) | Directions
The Brighton, England indie rock band British Sea Power, with its epic songwriting and sweeping, brash guitars, dropped a fourth studio album this past January. The opening track to Valhalla Dancehall, “Who’s In Control?,” is a lively anthem inciting youth everywhere to join a "sexy protest," stand up and fight, and spend some time at a local library. About a month before the release of the album, British Sea Power posted this call-out to fans: “The video for our new single ‘Who’s In Control?’ is set to be a raucous juxtaposition of sex and protest, party and revolt. We’re seeking any protest video imagery from fans--your ORIGINAL footage--for the new video.” Fans responded, and the result was this raucous post-protest nude dance party video, which was directed by Bajir Cannon and Bridget Palardy. Get inspired--or not--by watching the video or downloading "Who's In Control" for free above.
*Please note that "Who's In Control" contains explicit lyrics.
