Ssion - Earthquake

Clip description:
A coming of age love story between an enigmatic instigator and an alien-brother-lover resulting in the purest form of magik with a bit of feminism and Las Vegas showmanship thrown in for good measure, all shot in Kansas City.
Ssion plays SF's Pride Festival this Saturday.

This Friday At The High Line Ballroom


Above is their new track, My Love Grows In The Dark. Cody Critcheloe says: "The song was written about a sex club - everything is completely dark, you have to feel your way around. No one really sees me in the video, and if they do they're indifferent. I walk through this house where everyone is completely self-obsessed. This video will be part of a larger narrative of videos for the album Bent."

Ssion - Warm Glove


My pal A.J. Fox has begun music blogging for the NY Press, and this is his first entry.
Kansas City's dance punk collective Ssion, hitting Webster Hall Dec. 17 & 18—has released an unusual new video in support of the single "Warm Glove" off of the album Fool's Gold. Before the song even starts, the group makes you—or, depending on your viewpoint, lets you—sit through a full ninety seconds of a bloated leather daddy guzzling God-knows-what from a gas can. (The lyrics suggest it is most likely attitude that the fellow is drowning himself in.) Like any daddy worth his boot polish, the band makes all the foreplay worth your while; when it finally arrives, the song is a sleazy stomper and the rest of the video a playful hoot. While the performance scenes are a little reminiscent of the only-in-the-movies Christmas drag show in Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist, the whole thing is a remarkably realistic depiction of the time an acid-infused individual-who-is-totally-not-me got cock-blocked by someone in a fur suit at long-gone East Village filth fest The Hole. (Which is now East Village filth fest The Cock)
Delightfully freaky.
