Nashville rock band Lombardy pay loose tribute to “Predator” in explosive new video for “Bazooka.” YouTube Lombardy mix a little of Apocalypse Now with a dash of Tropic Thunder and Predator for the Nashville indie-rock band’s new video, “Bazooka.”
Filmed in a park in Madison, Tennessee, just outside of Nashville, the clip finds the four-piece on some kind of macho mission with only their instruments to protect them. They fire flames from their guitars and missiles from their bass, all while evading a low-flying helicopter. It’s goofy, “Get to the choppa!” fun, and underscores Lombardy’s knack for playing big riffs and giving little fucks.
Made up of singer-guitarists Jonathan Plevyak and Mike Scott, bassist-singer Seth Renfrow, and drummer Steve Mascarello, Lombardy mix rock, punk, and hip-hop, and have earned a reputation for unpredictable concerts. At one show, they took the stage dressed like The Sopranos’ Christopher Moltisanti, in suits and foam neck braces; at another, they donned athletic jerseys. During a recent performance at the Delaware Beaches Songwriters Festival, they went full Magnum P.I. in Hawaiian shirts.
Director Steve Jawn and the 10:10 Creative directed and produced the music video for “Bazooka.” The single is streaming now via East Iris Records/Virgin Music Group. Fans can expect to hear it when the band makes their Ryman Auditorium debut on Sunday, Sept. 27, opening for Starbomb. During a recent appearance on Rolling Stone’s Nashville Now podcast, Lombardy talked about the sometimes eccentric inspirations for their songs, like the Eighties workout videos that influenced their single “Jane Fonda.”
