East Coast DIY dance-punk outfit The Death Set hooked us up with the premiere of this awesome animated video for its unruly cover of the Daedelus song “Fair Weather Friends.” The brightly colored, hand-drawn imagery comes to us courtesy of illustrator and pet portraitist extraordinaire J. Penry, all of which was brought to life by the animators at Wealthy Pictures, director Lazlo, and the folks from Project Fathom. The idea for the video is fairly typical: The Death Set tour van is set on a course to the band’s next show with plenty of scenery to be viewed before they get there. But what makes the video so–excuse us for saying this again–totally awesome is that the visuals equate to a post-modern version of some Beavis and Butthead-meets-Fantastic Planet Sunday-morning-cartoon acid trip, but with more punks and chicks with cat heads under their shirt. Maybe that’s a little much for some, but it sure beats the new Wavves cover. And if you love the song enough, download The Death Set’s “Far Weathered Friends” here.
