Chastity Belt‘s new video “Different Now” is an homage to the early-’90s Temple of Dog video for “Hunger Strike“. Directed by Bobby McHugh, and starring the ladies in the band, this recast of the classic doesn’t miss a beat. Mirroring the original’s location and mood–even the slate grey clouds piled high in the sky over the cold waters of Puget Sound seem to be in the same place they were some twenty-six odd years ago–“Different Now” finds the girls dragging their instruments to a remote spot along the beach so they can jam Temple of Dog style in the tall scotch broom. Just like in “Hunger Strike”, you can see the West Point Lighthouse on its’ rocky outcrop, and the band finishes the night with a fire on the beach.
Look for Chastity Belt’s I Used to Spend So Much Time Alone LP to come out June 2nd via Hardly Art. In addition, the group kicks off their Spring tour tomorrow night in San Francisco. You can check out the band’s upcoming tour dates after the video embed…
