Beaux Gris Gris & The Apocalypse are back with a snarling, high-voltage blues-rock anthem
There’s a message in “Me-Ye-Ye-Yow!” and it’s not subtle. We live in a world of mass corporate surveillance, centralized data collection, and algorithmic systems designed to monitor, predict, and monetize human behaviour. Most people accept this as the cost of modern life. Beaux Gris Gris & The Apocalypse respectfully disagree. (Wink.)
The music video follows five glamorously brilliant women of the Kitty Cat Gang running a very real, very functional counter-surveillance operation across the hills and rooftops of Riverside, California, using open-source, decentralized, off-grid communication tools that exist right now, are available to anyone, and do exactly what they do in the video. This isn’t science fiction. It’s a reminder that knowledge is power, and that the people, all of us, have more tools at our disposal than we’re usually told about.
Visually, the video is a love letter to the femme fatale cult films of the ’60s and ’70s, think Faster Pussycat Kill Kill by way of Cold War spy thriller, shot across the rooftops, hilltops, and sun-scorched streets of Riverside, CA from behind the wheel of a 2021 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray 1LT. Feminist, furious, and technically meticulous.
“Me-Ye-Ye-Yow!” is the second single from Beaux Gris Gris & The Apocalypse’s forthcoming 4th studio album, following last year’s barnstorming “One Massive Hit”, also shot in the streets of Downtown Riverside. A full album announcement, title, cover art, and release date coming soon.
