Music Video Monday will get you moving!
Today’s MVM is by a relavtively new band called TVYellow. Drummer Luke Stubblefield, guitarist Sal Sanchez, formerly of 7$Sox, were joined by Billy Ray Thomas on bass, Noel Clark on guitar, and vocalist Crockett Hall, played a single show before the pandemic shut down live music. They spent their time finishing an album, and released Worst Invention in September 2020. They immediately returned to Young Avenue Sound with Brass Tacks Audio’s Matt Qualls behind the controls. It was, Clark says, “ … a practice in focus on the creative process rather than on uncontrollable circumstances.”
Clark says “Wolves I Have Known” is meant to “capture the energy and excitement of roaring guitars and pounding drums in a tight venue. The single is proof that high energy live performances will live on in Memphis, in person and on records, whatever the circumstances.”
The music video was created by Stubblefield using the low-budget filmmaker’s best friend: public domain footage. In this case, it’s animation from the silent era, with a little extra 21st century razzmatazz. Watch for TVYellow’s return to the stage at the Lamplighter on November 27.
