Kansas City designer Peggy Noland and filmmaker Cody Critcheloe released their music video for punk/soul band Gossip's single "Men In Love" a few weeks ago, And it was a messy, bodily-fluid-filled school bus ride to Freak High.
With singer Beth Ditto, hair in a glorious beehive, at the wheel, Critcheloe, the director, and Noland, the stylist, filmed a visually irresistible, if somewhat curious, voyage starring bus riders in drag, vomit, and clown makeup to accompany the catchy track.
This week the band posted a behind the scenes video of the September shoot with Noland and Critcheloe explaining their strategies for the video. Noland told The Pitch last month that the shoot was the biggest of her career.
"Our concept was something that anybody could but wouldn't dare repeat on
their own," Noland says of her design work which ranged from a couture
dress for Ditto to accessories made of paper towels and duct tape for the rowdies on
the bus.
Mission most certainly accomplished.
