Late one night I wrote a ridiculous song about my after midnight eating habits. I asked some friends to join me in talking about how much they loved food. This video is the end result. Video by Amos Mac.

Big Deal

“Big Deal”, Katastrophe’s music video, is a creative retelling of June 3, 1968, when artist Andy Warhol was shot by the writer Valerie Solanas. In this play on the Warhol Superstar Factory complete with glitter blood, hip-hop artist Katastrophe fills Andy’s shoes and director Hilary Goldberg cameos as Solanas. Shot on Super 8 film with a colorful ensemble cast including Clint Catalyst, Audrey Kitching, and Dirk Mai, Big Deal pays homage to one of the darkest moments in pop culture history. Music by Katastrophe. Directed by Hilary Goldberg. Director of Photography Alison Kelly. (Artist Cameos & Cast listed in tags.

Youth Gone Wild

this song is about growing up in a small town and feeling alienated from your surroundings, knowing that someday you will leave your small town and be in the world. I think a lot of the time it is hard for queer kids to know that a larger world exists outside of the ignorant small town they are raised in. It took me awhile to know that my life would get better once I moved and met other people like me.

Katastrophe – Till it’s Gone live

Well, part of it anyway.
