First it was The Flaming Lips, now it’s LCD Soundsystem who has looked to Portland’s colorful, bike-riding characters for a music video.

I heard about this being filmed just a few weeks ago and word on the street was that every local freak bike builder was there. It’s a gorgeous look “into the culture of bike jousting” with a lot of familiar faces including Irondelle/gravity biker/chariot war champion Emily O’Connor, jousting legend and former Alberta Clown House performer Rabbit, the inimitable Dingo the Clown, Hammercising acro-balancer Dutch, and many others. The song is “Drunk Girls” (Holy Ghost! Remix) and the piece was directed by Daniel Garcia. Watch it below…

Awesome!
