This
extemely well-done music video for the band Triple Creme has been
playing the underground film circuit all year long ... First of
all, it’s a really great, catchy song and the video is a
throwback to good, old-fashioned music videos when music videos
used to tell a story and were, most of all, fun. The “story” is
slight: a “good girl” is horrified by her outrageous
classmates until she finally joins them in all their orgiastic
excess. Best part: the transvestite cheerleaders.

This
colorful romp in high school antics and edginess is a wild ride
of a music video.

Remember
Van Halen’s 1984 video for their adolescent anthem “Hot
for Teacher?” Well, Team Queen is its queer, feminist doppelganger.

At
its core, Twitch makes far more subtle points about shedding
norms and other’s expectations, by portraying a pivotal
moment in one young woman’s transition into adulthood and
coming into self in an unsentimental, non-deterministic fashion.

Team Queen music video ... and the audience will no doubt be encouraged

Post-punk
lez rockers Triple Creme enlisted the brightest and most buoyant of New
York's burlesque scene to star in the new music video for their single
"Team Queen." Relentless schtick-slinger Murray Hill hosts the
single's launch party, featuring a live performance by Triple Creme and
supporting boylesque and burlesque acts such as Tigger and Julie Atlas
Muz, while roller derby stars, drag queen cheerleaders, magicians, and
a girl in a large balloon keep the night, ah, afloat.

They’re here, they’re queer, and they’re ready to rock.
The grrrls in the post-punk Brooklyn band Triple-Crème are not
afraid of a little heavy bass or some catchy guitar riffs. They’re
also not afraid to kick your ass.

In
her first day at a new school, a clean-cut princess tempts her teacher
with an apple, and then wanders nervously through high school halls. Cut
to her crashed prom, where the queer-punk-rock band Triple Crème
bangs out a song, a leather-bound burlesquer breathes fire, and drag-queen
cheerleaders dance delightedly in blue satin sports bras.
This may sound like a trippy MTV fantasy, but it’s actually the
opening of Leah Meyerhoff‘s new music video “Team Queen”

The
Team Queen release party was hectic and crowded in the exact way a good
party should be. The turnout was pretty staggering, and all kudos due
to director Leah Meyerhoff, who managed to put the whole show together
herself. People were packed in body-to-body to watch us shake our collective
asses, and the music video is incredibly well-done.Yay for D.I.Y. women.
