Cyclops

Emerging from Cyclops Island — or, if you want to be humorless about it, Oakland and Portland — Cyclops is the garage punk duo of Tina Lucchesi (TrashWomen/Bobby Teens/Midnight Snaxxx/countless others) and Jonnycat (Chemicals, Jonnycat Records). The band’s Escape from Cyclops Island LP is arriving soon, preceded by this new video for “Eye of the Storm/Night of the Cyclops,” which was directed by Chris Anderson and Tiger Lily.

The over-the-top costumes call to mind a sword-and-sandal epic, and it wouldn’t feel entirely surprising if Hercules leaped into frame to battle these monsters of rock. As it stands, unencumbered by opposition, the duo prowls a beach before serving up some loud, primal rock and roll by an open fire.
