by Nick Lutsko. See the premiere via Yahoo!

In college, my roommates and I stayed up making
puppets,” says Chattanooga-based musician, Nick
Lutsko about a late-night college activity that most students probably
can’t relate to. “Music is my first love, but puppetry is a close second.”
Lutsko’s parents were gracious enough to let their son destroy the family
garage while building the set for his “Predator”
music video, recently
premiered
via Yahoo! Music. The song is the first single from Lutsko’s newly-released sophomore album
Etc.
The video for the track depicts a sunshine-y
children’s show featuring a puppet-band, but the story behind the scenes is
something much different. We find out
that the puppeteer is a real meanie, but ultimately he gets what’s coming to
him at the felt-covered hands of his “friends.”
“There’s lots of creepy guys doing creepy things under
the guise of family values out there,” Lutsko
says of his inspiration behind the song. “Those are the worst kind of predators
in my book.
The “Predator”
video was in the already deep in production when Lutsko decided to make spend $20 making an off-the-cuff music video
for another Etc. track.
“We bought as many hotdogs as $20 could buy,” he says
of the clip for “ALL SHOOK UP” which
has Lutsko’s father, girlfriend, and
friends off screen throwing hot dogs at him as he attempts to perform the song.
The video received a quick 20,000 views after being posted on Reddit on the same
weekend that it was completed. “It was a
genuinely irritating five minutes,” Lutsko
jokes of the shoot.
In these two songs, new fans of Nick Lutsko will hear the sound that curiously, but accurately,
designates him as the only musician on Facebook listing his genre as
“Folk/Funk/Blues.”
Etc.,
the new album from Nick Lutsko, is
out now. Lutsko is available for
interviews. Contact Josh Bloom at Fanatic for more information.
